1. τοῦ γράψαι...καὶ ἐπαινεῖν (sc. Κτησιφῶντα) depends on τὴν κρίσιν (5). πράττοντα...ἀγαθὸν (2—4) is in substance quoted from the decree: cf. § 59.4. Aesch. (III. 49) professes to quote the exact words, ὅτι διατελεῖ καὶ λέγων καὶ πράττων τὰ ἄριστα τῷ δήμῳ: cf. other references in Aesch. 101, 237.

4. ἐπαινεῖν: see § 113.3 and note.

6—8. ἀληθῆ, προσήκοντα, and ψευδῆ are predicates to ταῦτα (sc. ὄντα).—εἴτε καὶ ψευδῆ: καὶ, on the other hand (perhaps untranslatable), expresses parallelism with ἀληθῆ: cf. εἴτε καὶ μή, § 58.5. See note on καί before διεκωλύθη, § 60.4.
