Still answering the ques- tion ἐν τίσιν...δεῖ; (§ 278.7), he describes the present suit as one which does not justify vehemence in an orator. 2. μηδ᾽ ἰδίου (sc. ἀδικήματος) con- tinues the construction of δημοσίου: cf. VIII. 39, 40, ἐχθρὸς ὅλῃ τῇ πόλει... προσθήσω δὲ καὶ τοῖς ἐν τῇ πόλει πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις. 3. στεφάνου...κατηγορίαν, an ac- cusation against a crown and a vote of thanks (ἐπαίνου) (i.e. against a proposition to confer these): nearly all decrees conferring a crown had the words ἐπαινέσαι καὶ στεφανῶσαι. 4. συνεσκευασμ., having trumped up. 6. μικροψυχίας, littleness of soul, opposed to μεγαλοψυχία, § 68.4: cf. § 269.4.—οὐδενὸς χρηστοῦ: neuter, cf. πάντα τὰ χρηστά, XX. 165. 7. τοὺς...ἀγῶνας ἐάσαντα with ἐπὶ τόνδ᾽ ἥκειν recurs to the idea of § 16. 8. καὶ strengthens πᾶσαν, the very depth of baseness.
