2. τοῖς μὲν πλήθεσιν, the common people (cf. τῶν πολλῶν, § 45.5) in various states: cf. τῶν μὲν...τῶν δὲ in § 45.3, 4. 3, 5. ἀπολωλεκέναι (M.T. 109): i.e. the result has been that they have lost their liberty; the idea of the perfect in the next clause appears more naturally in πεπρακόσιν (5) than in αἰσθέσθαι, to find out that they have sold themselves first (M.T. 904). For the case of πεπρακόσιν see G. 928.1. 8. ἀκούουσιν, audiunt, they hear themselves called: cf. Hor. Ep. I. 16, 17, si curas esse quod audis.
