§§ 252—275. Here Demosthenes replies at great length to scattered remarks of Aeschines about his “bad fortune,” which involved in calamity every person, state, or thing which he touched. Though Aeschines refers only to his general fortune, Demosthenes chooses to speak chiefly of his fortunes in life, which he compares with those of his opponent. He concludes (§§ 270—275) with some forcible remarks on his fortune in the other sense.
