4. ὑπακούσατε: see Plat. Theaet. 162 A, πάντως καὶ νῦν δὴ μάλ᾽ ἐμμελῶς σοι ἐφαίνετο ὑπακούειν, and 162 D, ταῖς οὖν δημηγορίαις ὀξέως ὑπακούεις. The general meaning is, now take your opportunity to listen to the story, since you were kept from hearing it at the right time.

5. εὖ πρᾶγμα συντεθὲν, that the plan was well concocted.

6. πρὸς ἱστορίαν, for gaining a knowledge. The real history of these events must be disentangled from the long story of Aeschines (106—131), supplemented and often corrected by the briefer account of Demosthenes (145—159). See Hist. §§ 57—62.
