1, 2. ὄντων, δεικνυμένων: adversative (M.T. 842). 4. γεγενῆσθαι, κεκωλυκὼς εἴην: for the perfects see M.T. 103, 109. The whole sentence (3—6) ὡς ἄρ᾽ ... ποιήσασθαι refers to the elaborate charge of Aeschines (58—64), that Demosthenes pressed the negotiations for peace with indecent haste and thereby excluded other Greek states from the benefits of the treaty. The answer in § 23 is perfectly satisfactory. (See Hist. §§ 15, 24.) 5. συνεδρίου: a special meeting of delegates to be summoned by Athens from various Greek states, which never met; not the regular synod of the allies of Athens, which was in session when the peace was made (Aesch. III. 69, 70). 6. ὦ, τί ἂν...προσείποι; ἀποσιώ- πησις followed by a question: for the regular position of ἂν before εἰπών, see M.T. 224. Cf. ὦ τί σ᾽ εἴπω; Ar. Nub. 1378. 7. ἔστιν ὅπου: temporal, like οὐδαμοῦ in § 21.11.—παρὼν belongs to ὁρῶν...ἠγανάκτησας, ἢ...διεξῆλθες; (as a whole): the meaning is, were you ever present when you saw me, etc.?— πρᾶξιν καὶ συμμαχίαν: the general before the particular. In § 191.9 the order is reversed.
