1—3. For the questions concerning the decree of Aristonicus and δευτέρου κηρύγματος in § 83.5, see notes on that passage and on § 120.3. 5. συγκατηγόρησεν, aided in the accusation (as συνήγορος).—Δημομέλη ...Ὑπερείδην: the two names probably indicate a decree moved by Demomeles (cousin of Demosthenes) and amended or enlarged by Hyperides. Such double or treble bills were common: see C. I. Att. II. no. 469; whence τὰ ψηφίσματα in § 222.7. 7. εἴπερ—νῦν κατηγορεῖ: the sim- ple present condition is correct here, and more effective than G. H. Schaefer's κατηγόρει. The meaning is, if he is now accusing me honestly, he would have had more reason for prosecuting (i.e. if he had prosecuted) D. and H. then than he has for prosecuting Ctes. now.
