2. γράψαντος...γέγραφεν: i.e. the two decrees were essentially identical in form. In § 223.1 he says of a later decree, τὰς αὐτὰς συλλαβὰς καὶ ταὐτὰ ῥήματα ἔχει. Even this does not include such details as dates, names, etc. 4. ἐν τῷ θεάτρῳ: this anticipates the argument on the place of proclamation (§§ 120, 121), and gives a precedent for Ctesiphon's proposal. 5. δευτέρου...τούτου γιγνομένου: τούτου is here ambiguous, but it probably refers to the crown proposed by Aristonicus, the clause δευτέρου... γιγνομένου meaning that one crown had been given to Demosthenes in the theatre before that of Aristonicus. γιγνομένου is imperfect and we might have had δεύτερον κήρυγμα ἤδη μοι τοῦτο ἐγίγνετο, the imperf. implying that he was then receiving the distinction for the second time. 6. παρὼν, though present.—ἐγρά- ψατο: sc. παρανόμων.
