2. ἀφικνούμενοι...κατέ- λυον: the tenses imply that such envoys of the tyrants were regular guests of Aeschines. 3. κατέλυον: lodged (as we say put up), lit. let down, originally unharnessed; cf. Od. IV. 28, καταλύσομεν ὠκέας ἵππους.—προὐξένεις αὐτῶν, you were their πρόξενος: this might be metaphorical; but there is good reason for thinking that Aeschines was the official representative at Athens of Oreus, if not of Eretria. 5. ἀπήλασεν, rejected (i.e. their proposals). 6. οὐ τοίνυν...οὐδὲν: i.e. nothing of the kind was ever successful with me, referring to πολλὰ μὲν ἂν χρήματ᾽ ἔδωκε κ.τ.λ. in § 81.1. 7. ὡς σιωπῶ...ἀναλώσας: quoted from memory from the speech of Aesch. (218), σὺ δ᾽ οἶμαι λαβὼν μὲν σεσίγηκας, ἀναλώσας δὲ κέκραγας. 8. βοᾷς ἔχων, you keep on shouting: cf. Ar. Nub. 509, τί κυπτάζεις ἔχων; (M.T. 837). The Scholia understand χρήματα with ἔχων (as with λαβών); there may be a double meaning in ἔχων.—παύσει...παύσωσιν, you will not stop unless these judges stop you. 9. ἀτιμώσαντες, i.e. by not giving you a fifth of their votes, the result of which would be the partial ἀτιμία of losing the right to bring a similar suit hereafter, with a fine of 1000 drachmas. This was actually the result of this trial.
