Table of Contents:
1. ὅτῳ...ἀπέκειτο, who found matter for glorification in the calamities of the Greeks: ἀπέκειτο, were laid up (as material). 2. ἐνευδοκιμεῖν occurs only here in classic Greek, acc. to Blass, who remarks on the ease with which such compounds with ἐν are made, to be used thus in the infinitive: see Thuc. II. 44, ἐνευδαιμονῆσαι and ἐντελευτῆσαι; II. 20, ἐνστρατοπεδεῦσαι; Hdt. II. 178, ἐνοικῆσαι; VI. 102, ἐνιππεῦσαι; Plat. Phaedr. 228 E, ἐμμελετᾶν.—Ἑλλήνων ...ἀπέκειτο is a dactylic hexameter. 4. οἱ αὐτοὶ...ἐχθροῖς, i.e. the same occasions in which also the enemies of the state have found their advantage. 5. εὔνουν, loyal: see note on § 1.2. 6. ἐξ ὧν ζῇς, by the life you live: cf. ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ὧν βεβίωκεν § 130.1. ζῆν is the regular present to βεβιωκέναι, βιῶ not being in common use. 7—10. πράττεται...Αἰσχίνης and ἀντέκρουσε...Αἰσχίνης: two paratactic conditional expressions,—suppose something is done, etc. See § 274. Dissen quotes Cicero's imitation (Phil. II. 22, 55): Doletis tres exercitus populi Romani interfectos: interfecit Antonius. Desideratis clarissimos cives: eos quoque nobis eripuit Antonius. Auctoritas huius ordinis afflicta est: afflixit Antonius. 10. ῥήγματα καὶ σπάσματα, rup- tures and strains: ῥῆγμα is a rupture, either of the flesh or of a vein; σπάσμα is properly the state of tension which may lead to a rupture, though the two terms seem sometimes to be used in nearly or quite the same sense. See Hippocrates, de Flatibus 11 (Littré VI. p. 109), of ruptures of the flesh; and de Morb. I. 20 (Litt. VI. p. 176), of the veins. See large edition.
