2. πόσα: Blass for προσἃ (Σ).—τῷ δημοτικῷ: referring to Aesch. 168—170.—ὥσπερ...συγγραφὴν: we find it convenient to translate, as if you had put out a statue to be made by contract; but the participle with ὥσπερ (without ἄν or ἂν εἰ) is not conditional, as appears by its having οὐ (not μή) for its negative, as in § 323.7 (M.T. 867). ὥσπερ is simply as, or as it were, but we can seldom translate it with a participle without an if. 6. γιγνωσκομένους (with ὥσπερ): accus. abs. (M.T. 853): cf. ὡς... ἔχοντα, § 276.5, 7.—ῥητὰ καὶ ἄρρητα, dicenda, tacenda (sc. ὀνόματα), with ὀνομάζων. 7. ὥσπερ ἐξ ἁμάξης: see note on πομπείας, § 11.7; and Suid. under τὰ ἐκ τῶν ἁμαξῶν σκώμματα: ἐπὶ τῆς ἁμάξης ὀχούμεναι αἱ γυναῖκες αἱ τῶν Ἀθηναίων, ἐπὰν εἰς τὰ Ἐλευσίνια ἐβάδιζον εἰς τὰ μεγάλα μυστήρια, ἐλοιδόρουν ἀλλήλας ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ: τοῦτο γὰρ ἦν ἔθος αὐταῖς.
