3. τοιαῦτα: cognate (sc. κατηγορήματα).

4. παραδείγματα, like the illustra- tion just discussed (§ 227): cf. § 228.2. —ῥήματα...μιμούμενος: besides the expressions (ῥήματα) repeated by Aeschines (probably with no little exaggeration) in III. 166, of which he asks (167), ταῦτα δὲ τί ἐστιν, κίναδος; ῥήματα θαύματα; we have in 209, ποῖ φύγω, ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι; περιγράψατέ με: οὐκ ἔστιν ὅποι ἀναπτήσομαι, quoted from Demosthenes. See other quotations in III. 71 and 72, especially ἀπορρῆξαι τῆς εἰρήνης τὴν συμμαχίαν. Imitations of gestures (σχήματα) are, of course, harder to detect; but there is a plain one in III. 167, κύκλῳ περιδινῶν σεαυτόν.

5. παρὰ τοῦτο γέγονε, depend on this. See Cic. Orat. 8, 27: itaque se purgans iocatur Demosthenes: negat in eo positas esse fortunas Graeciae, hoc an illo verbo usus sit, et huc an illuc manum porrexerit.— οὐχ ὁρᾷς; cf. § 266.7.

6. μὴ τουτὶ: in the second mem- ber of an alternative indirect question, μή can be used as well as οὐ. (G. 1609.)
