1. δὲ...συνεργὸς, i.e. he who helped him thus to persuade his allies: with πίστεως cf. πιστεύσετε, § 40.6.

3. ἀπαγγείλας τὰ ψευδῆ: see § 35. In XIX. 4, Demosth. puts ὧν ἀπήγγειλε, his report, first among the things for which an ambassador should render an account.

4. ὀδυρόμενος: see the solemn and eloquent invocation of Aesch. in III. 133, Θῆβαι δὲ, Θῆβαι, πόλις ἀστυγείτων, κ.τ.λ., with 156, 157.

9. κτῆμ᾽ ἔχων: Aesch. is charged with holding a confiscated Theban estate (κτῆμα is in Σ alone) by the gift of Alexander; as in XIX. 145 Philocrates and Aeschines are charged with having κτήματα καὶ γεωργίαι παμπληθεῖς in Phocis by gift of Philip. We have no independent evidence on either of these charges.

10. ἐξῃτούμην: Demosth. was among the eight or ten Attic orators who were demanded by Alexander after his destruction of Thebes in 335 B.C.; Aeschines was not. See Grote XII. 59—62.
