[*] 129. Demonstrative not attracted. The attraction is sometimes pretermitted, especially in definitions in which the pronoun is the predicate. “τοῦτό ἐστιν ἡ πρόνοια,” LYS.3.28 ; This is what is meant by malice prepense (Answer to the question “τί ἡ πρόνοια”;). “ὑπερβολὴ γὰρ ἀδικίας τοῦτό γε,” DEM.18.16. ANT. 1.5: “θαυμάζω δ᾽ . . . εἰ νομίζει τοῦτο εὐσέβειαν εἶναι, τὸ . . . μὴ προδοῦναι”. PLATO, Gorg. 478C: “οὐ γὰρ τοῦτ᾽ ἦν εὐδαιμονία, ὡς ἔοικε, κακοῦ ἀπαλλαγή”. Cf. Phaedr. 245 C: “ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις ὅσα κινεῖται τοῦτο” (sc. “τὸ αὑτὸ κινοῦν”) “πηγὴ καὶ ἀρχὴ κινήσεως”. But Cicero, Tusc.1.23.53, translates: “Quin etiam ceteris, quae moventur, hic fons, hoc principium est movendi.” XEN. Cyr. 1.3.10: “τοῦτ᾽ ἄῤ ἦν ἡ ἰσηγορία” . Cf. Mem. 3.11.6: “ὅ τι ἂν ἐνταῦθα ἐμπέσῃ, τούτῳ τροφῇ χρῶνται” .
