3. ζήλου, pride, glory: see note on § 120.6. 7. μετὰ...ἐξητάζετο, was counted in with the rest, the same military figure which is common in this speech: see note on § 173.5. 8. οὐδ᾽ ὅσια, even impious: cf. note on § 1.6. 8, 9. ὡς ἀρίστων...ὡς οὐκ ἄριστα: with reference to the words of Ctesiphon's decree, ὅτι διατελεῖ καὶ λέγων καὶ πράττων τὰ ἄριστα τῷ δήμῳ (Aesch. 49).

XIX. 110, τρὶς οὐχ ἅπαξ ἀπολωλέναι δίκαιος.
