οὐ μόνον δ ...περιειλήφασιν ‘It is not only in matters of routine and in the affairs of every day that monarchies are superior; they hold in their grasp [perf.] also all the gains of war’. ὥστε καὶ λαθεῖν...προσαγαγέσθαι ‘for purposes of surprise or of display [ὀφθῆναι, so as to strike terror], — in order to persuade or to compel, — to buy advantages in one quarter, or to conciliate by attentions in another’. Cp. Andoc. De Pace § 37, p. 47, which Isocr, may have had in mind, τὰ μὲν πείσαντες τοὺς Ἕλληνας, τὰ δὲ λαθόντες, τὰ δὲ πριάμενοι, τὰ δὲ βιασάμενοι. — ταῖς ἄλλαις θεραπείαις, attentions, flatteries, other than money (implied in ἐκπριάμενοι): for the idiom, see Lysias or. VII. § 25, τὴν ἄλλην οὐσίαν, note, p. 272. — Observe τυραννίς tacitly identified with μοναρχία, as in § 16.
