οὐ λόγῳ μὲν ὑπισχνούμην, ἔργῳ δ᾽ οὐκ ἐποίησα Cf. de Corona § 179 οὐκ εἶπον μὲν ταῦτα οὐκ ἔγραψα δέ, οὐδ᾽ ἔγραψα μὲν οὐκ ἐπρέσβευσα δέ, οὐδ᾽ ἐπρέσβευσα μὲν οὐκ ἔπεισα δὲ τοὺς Θηβαίους. Kennedy neatly translates: ‘nor did I content myself with mere words; but what I promised I peiformed.’ διαφόρως—τῷ Φορμίωνι The context shows that the reference is to the estrangement between Apollodorus and Phormion shortly after the death of Pasion in 370 B.C.—τὴν οὐσίαν refers mainly to the bankingstock which forms the subject of Or. 36, the claim to which was not brought forward until some twenty years later. ἃ παρ᾽—ἐτύγχανεν ‘Videtur tunc temporis divisio bonorum inter Apollodorum et fratrem (36 § 8) nondum facta fuisse.’ Blass. δωρειὰν not as a loan, but as a free gift (36 § 15). Cf. Or. 19 § 170 ἔδωκα δωρειὰν τὰ λύτρα.
