ἀπεδίδοσαν The guardians paid Apollodorus the share due to him, viz. half the rent of the bank and shield-manufactory. ἀποδιδόναι is ‘to pay a man his due,’ as in Isaeus 5 § 21 οἷς ἔδει αὐτὸν ἀποδόντα τὴν τιμήν, ἡμῖν τὰ μέρη ἀποδοῦναι, and frag. 29 ἀποδεδωκότι τὰς μισθώσεις. Cf. Or. 41 § 9 τὴν τιμήν; 34 § 13 δάνειον; 15 § 17 χάριν; 16 § 2 εὔνοιαν. See note on 53 § 10. ἄχρι μὲν οὖν κ.τ.λ. ‘Down to this date, then, there is not the slightest claim against Phormion in respect of the lease.’ For the rather rare construction of ἐγκαλεῖν c. gen. cf. Or. 54 § 2 and Plut. Arist. 10, 9 τῆς βραδυτῆτος αὐτοῖς ἐνεκάλει. In § 12 we have ἐγκαλοῦντ᾽ ἀφορμήν. μισθώσεως, ‘lease’; μισθώσεις, ‘rents.’ Cf. § 33 n.
