τὸ δὲ φάσκειν φορτικοῖς καὶ ἀηδέσι τοῖς ὀνόμασιν
αὐτὸν κεχρῆσθαι πόθεν ἐπῆλθεν αὐτῷ λέγειν, ὑπὲρ
πάντα ἔγωγε τεθαύμακα. οὐδὲν γὰρ εὑρίσκω τούτων
παρὰ Δημοσθένει κείμενον, ὧν εἰρηκέναι φησὶν αὐτὸν
Αἰσχίνης, οἷον ὅτι “οὐ δεῖ τῆς φιλίας ἀπορρῆξαι τὴν

ἢ ἓξ μυριάδας στίχων ἐκείνου τοῦ ἀνδρὸς καταλελοιπότος.

πρὸς Ἀλέξανδρον συνθηκῶν ἐν ἄλλοις τε συχνοῖς, οὕς
ὁ Δημοσθένης οὐκ ἔγραψεν, ἐν ἑτέρᾳ δηλοῦταί μοι
πραγματείᾳ τὰ περὶ Δημοσθένη. καὶ περὶ μὲν ὧν
