 to Philip by a regular convention, and all the cities in Phocis were 

 surrendered peaceably into his hands. The following passages from 

 Demosthenes (Fals. Leg. §§ 61 - 63) will remove all doubts : —

 this passage : dXX' vpels ol Kal awievres avrol koi tS)v Xeyovrcov dicovovTes

 has adopted this reading, except Voemel in the Halle edition above 

 mentioned, and he gives the passage an interpretation which we think 

 the words will hardly bear. We venture, therefore, to call attention to 

 it as more Demosthenic than the common reading. It seems hardly 

 possible that any one can have been deterred from accepting this 

 reading by any difficulty in interpreting aare pr]8ev ^8r] ttoluv. We 

 need merely refer to Plat. Gorg. 479 C : irdv iroiovcriv, aa-re 8iKT]v prj 

 SiSdmi, they do everything, to avoid suffering punishment, where wo-re 

 fxri 8i86vai is almost equivalent to the final clause, Iva pfj 8i,8S}aiv. The 

 whole sentence will thus mean : but you, — who not only understand 

 for yourselves, hut cdso learn from us orators, how you are plotted 

 against, how you are encompassed hy toils, — in order to avoid imme- 

 diate action, will, it seems to me, insensibly submit to everything. 



We should hesitate to accept the form Xrja-ecrd', for Xr](Te6\ with the 

 participle without better authority, especially as cS" (the abbreviation 

 for (T&) and 6 would be so easily confused. Even if we admitted the 

 middle form here, we should consider it as equivalent to Xrjaere in its
