4. ὥστ᾽ οὐ μεμνῆσθαι, (so) that they do not remember, not (so) as not to remember: this is a regular case of ὥστε οὐ with the infinitive in indirect discourse, where the direct form would have been τοσοῦτον ὕπνον...ἔχουσιν ὥστ᾽ οὐ μέμνηνται (M.T. 594).

5. ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ: opposed to μετὰ τὴν μάχην (§ 282.2) when Aeschines went on his embassy to Philip.

6. καταρώμενος καὶ διομνύμενος, cursing (i.e. protesting, with curses on himself if he was false) and swearing; like Matth. Evang. xxvi. 74, τότε ἤρξατο (Πέτρος) καταθεματίζειν καὶ ὀμνύειν, then began he to curse and to swear.

7. τὴν αἰτίαν ταύτην: i.e. the charge of intimate relations with Philip.
