1. ταῦτ᾽ ἀπαιτεῖς, you call me to account for these (§ 244.10). 2. εἰς μαλακίαν: West. cites Aesch. III. 148, 152, 155, and 175. In these Demosthenes is ridiculed for having run away at Chaeronea, when the whole allied army was put to flight. Aeschines is never charged with this; but he was probably not in the battle at all, being over fifty years old. Probably Demosthenes refers also to the nickname Βάτταλος: see note on § 180.3. 5. τῆς ψυχῆς, the life. 6. τῶν παραταξαμένων, the com- batants: §§ 208.5, 216.5. 7. εὐθύνας: used metaphorically. —σκαιὸς, awkward (mentally): cf. § 120.4.
