2. συμβεβίωκα...εἰπεῖν: an accidental dactylic hexameter.— πόλλ᾽ ἂν ἔχων=πόλλ᾽ ἂν ἔχοιμι, though I might etc.: cf. § 138.1, 2. 3. φυλαττόμενος τὸ λυπῆσαι (M.T. 374): the object infinitive takes the place of μὴ λυπήσω, which in use had become an object clause (M.T. 303 C). 7. πρὸς τῷ διδασκαλείῳ: see notes on § 129.2-4. 8. προσεδρεύων, attending (as a servant).—τὸ μέλαν τρίβων: the ink was probably rubbed from a cake (like India ink) and mixed with water. 9. παιδαγωγεῖον, probably a room in which the παιδαγωγοί, slaves who brought the boys to and from school, waited for these to be ready to go home: later it was used like διδασκαλεῖον for a schoolroom.—οἰκέτου... ἔχων: the mention of these menial duties implies the same condition of father and son as appears in § 129.
