2. οἱ πολλοὶ here simply the majority. 3. ἁπλῶς, in honest simplicity, without pretence, opposed to ὕπουλος, ἡσυχία (307.8).—οὐταύτην: cf. Aesch. III. 216. 5. φυλάττει πηνίκ̓ (Σ, L) ἔσεσθε μεστοί, he watches (to see) when you will be sated, an indirect question where we might expect a temporal clause: ὁπηνίκα is the common reading. 6. τοῦ συνεχῶς λέγοντος, with your regular speaker, i.e. the one who is continually advising you: see Plut. Cim. 5, ὁ δῆμος...μεστὸς ὢν τοῦ Θεμιστοκλέους. 8. τἀνθρώπινα: sc. ἐναντιώματα. 9. ῥήτωρ, as an orator, predicate to ἐφάνη (gnomic).—ὥσπερ πνεῦμ̓, with ἐξαίφνης. 10. πεφωνασκηκὼς: cf. § 280.2.— συνειλοχὼς, the only proper perf. act. of συλλέγω, though here Σ has συνειλεχώς (but συνείλοχα in XXI. 23). Cf. συμφορήσας, § 15.4. 11. ῥήματα: cf. § 232.4.—συνείρει, reels off (strings together). 12. ἀπνευστεὶ, all in one breath (without taking breath). 13. τῷ τυχόντι, cuivis, to any one who happens to hear them. 14. κοινὴν, public, opposed to τῷ τυχόντι.—αἰσχύνην: Blass refers this to the speech described in § 35.
