1. τὴν ἐκκλησίαν: i.e. at Thebes. The narrative is continued from § 211.8. 2. τῶν συμμάχων: i.e. of Thebes. 6. τὸ κεφάλαιον, adverbial, in short. 7. ὧν μὲν εὖ πεπόνθεσαν, for the benefits they had received, εὖ πάσχειν as passive of εὖ ποιεῖν: this corresponds to ὧν δ᾽ ἠδίκηντο (8). 8. αὐτοὺς: the Thebans, while αὑτοὺς in 9 refers to the Macedonians. 9. ὁποτέρως βούλονται, in which- ever way they pleased, in the mood and tense of the direct form, the exhortation being take vengeance in whichever way you please.—διέντας αὑτοὺς, i.e. by letting them pass through Boeotia into Attica (cf. § 146.4). The aorists διέντας and συνεμβαλόντας have the better authority here: when an aor. partic. denotes that in which the action of a verb (usually aorist) consists, so that they really designate one act, the two may coincide in time, as in Plat. Phaed. 60 C, εὖ γ᾽ ἐποίησας ἀναμνήσας με, you did well to remind me. (See M.T. 150, with the examples.) 11. ἐκ μὲν...συνεβούλευον, as a consequence of following their advice, opposed to ἐκ δ᾽ ὧν ἡμᾶς ἐρεῖν ἔφασαν in l. 13.
