this third person contrasts well with the first person in dr'iwev,, the
orator including himself by the latter as he excludes himself by the
former. Z, however, reads droiwotp. —20. iro/IO'raLTo. In historic

i. e. in the year 353 (Whiston says, "about May, 352"; Grote,
"about midsummer, 352"), when Philip wanted to effect a junction
with the Thebans against the Phocians, by forcing his way through
Thermopylke, which the Phocians were then endeavoring to hold.
An Athenian force was despatched with unusual expedition, under
Nausicles, and placed Thermopyle beyond the possibility of Philip's
attack. The orator is constantly alluding to this. Phil., I., p. 44;
de F. L., p. 444, etc. -24. &kX' &dac. But that, at one and the same

the indicative and the infinitive see Madv. 166 a; C. 671; Cu. 565;

to the present time, or as future to a certain standing-point in the
past to which the speaker transfers himself, the infinitive is then the
natural mood. And the orator could so have written it here without
altering the sense of the passage. — 34. 6. &aLZ Be'. I require and entreat you. In contrast with Wea'Oat, ciPtouv signifies to ask as a right.
