1. ἀναγκαῖον ἅμα: cf. ἀναγ- καῖον καὶ δίκαιον ἅμα, § 9.5. 2. ἔπραττεν ἀδικῶν: in strong an- tithesis to ἐναντιοῦσθαι δικαίως. 3. ἐξ ἀρχῆς: this refers strictly only to the time of his own leadership (καθ᾽ οὓς ἐπολιτευόμην χρόνους). But he modestly and speciously appears to represent his own vigorous policy as a continuation of earlier energy. Yet when Philip was capturing Amphipolis, Pydna, and Potidaea, Athens was supinely inactive; but Demosthenes was not yet a responsible adviser. In §§ 18 and 60 he expressly disclaims all responsibility for these earlier times. 6. τί ἐχρῆν με ποιεῖν; see § 63.1. —ἤδη σ᾽ ἐρωτῶ: the third time of asking. 7. ἀφεὶς, leaving out of account: for Amphipolis, Pydna, and Potidaea, see Hist. § 3; for Halonnesus, Hist. §§ 44, 45, 53.
