F. A. Paley, Select Private Orations of Demosthenes

---

§ 21. That the second speech begins here seems probable from οὖτος in § 23, which appears to mean Chrysippus. If we could fix the division at § 18, then the τοῦτον just discussed might equally mean Chrysippus. [G. H. Schaefer and Voemel think the second speech begins at § 22, ἐξ αὐτοῦ δὴ τοῦ πράγματος. This seems not unlikely, as the second speaker would naturally commence with a brief summary of the facts that had been brought forward. The Zurich editors and A. Schaefer (Dem. u. s. Zeit III B 305) consider the second speech to begin at § 18, μελλούσης δὲ τῆς δίκης, and end with § 32. The latter view is followed by M. Dareste. Nitsche, dissert. de traiciendis partibus in Dem. or, Berlin, 1863 (quoted by Blass III i 580{2}), assigns §§ 1—17, 30— 31, 44—52, to Chrysippus; and §§ 18—29, 32—33, to his brother. Thalheim assigns only §§ 18—29 to the brother. S.]

ἀκούσας κ.τ.λ. ‘Theodotus, after several hearings, believing that Lampis was giving false evidence, did not acquit Phormion, but sent us to the court; for he did not like to decide against the defendant, being a friend or relation of his, as we afterwards heard; and he did not like to acquit him, that he might not break his own oath,’ viz. to decide according to the merits of the case.

οὐκ ἀπέγνω τῆς δίκης inf. ἀπογνῶναι τῆς δίκης ώκνει, and § 45.

ἀφῆκεν—εἰς τὸ δικαστήριον § 45 γνόντος τοῦ Θεοδότου ἀπιέναι ἡμᾶς εἰς τὸ δικαστήριον.
