[100] The following is a list of some of the poetical or unusual words and phrases occurring in the speeches—_de Myst._: § 29 ταῦτα τὰ δεινὰ καὶ φρικώδη ἀνωρθίαζον. § 67 πίστιν ... ἀπιστοτάτην. § 68 ὁρῶσι τοῦ ἡλίου τὸ φῶς. § 99 ἐπίτριπτον κίναδος. § 130 κληδών. § 146 (γένος) οἴχεται πᾶν πρόρριζον. _de Pace_: § 7 τὸν δῆμον ... ὑψηλόν ἦρε. § 8 and in three other passages κατηργάσατο (_secure, bring about_, cf. Eur. _Her._, 646 πόλει σωτηρίαν κατεργάσασθαι). § 18 κρατιστεύειν. § 31 ἐκτεῖναι τὸν θυμὸν, ἀρχὴν πολλῶν κακῶν. The _de Pace_ is noticeable for the recurrence of two grammatical forms which do not occur in the other speeches, the use of τοῦτο μὲν, τοῦτο δέ after the manner of Herodotus for the simple μέν and δέ; and the repetition of δέ with a resumptive force, as, _e.g._, § 27 ἃ δὲ πρὸς τούτους μόνους ἐκεῖνοι συνέθεντο, ταῦτα δ’ οὐδεπώποτ’ αὐτούς φασί παραβῆναι. The illogical use of the plural of οὐδείς in the same sense as the singular (_de Myst._, § 23 οὐδένας, § 147 οὐδένα) is perhaps colloquial. There are many instances of the use of this plural in the later orators, a point which Liddell and Scott did not observe, or, at any rate, failed to make clear. Another phrase which may be colloquial is τῇ γνώμῃ καὶ ταῖν χεροῖν ταῖν ἐμαυτοῦ (_de Myst._, § 144). [101] _de Myst._, §§ 48-50. [102] _de Myst._, §§ 37-39. [103] _de Myst._, §§ 1-3 and 8. [104] _Ibid._, § 150. [105] _de Myst._, §§ 4, 5. [106] _de Myst._, § 57. [107] _de Myst._, § 126. [108] _Ibid._, § 95. [109] ὧ συκόφαντα καὶ ἐπίτριπτον κίναδος, κ.τ.λ., _de Myst._, § 99. [110] _Ibid._, § 93. [111] _Supra_, p. 66. [112] § 8. [113] _de Myst._, § 112. [114] _E.g._, the poetical ὑψηλὸν ἧρε. Andoc., § 7; Aesch., § 174. Cf. Euripides, _Supp._, 555, and _Her._ 323. [115] _de Pace_, §§ 24-26. [116] Frag. 5 (Blass). [117] Two lost speeches for Iphicrates, 371 B.C. and 354 B.C., were pronounced spurious by Dionysius; but, as he accepted the date of Lysias’ birth as 459 B.C., he was bound to conclude that these speeches were not by him. [118] _Against Eratosthenes_, §§ 5-17. [119] Dion., _de Lysia_, ch. 2: τῆς Ἀττικῆς γλώττης ἄριστος κανών. [120] καταστρατηγεῖ. [121] _E.g._ δεινὸν δέ μοι δοκεῖ εἶναι εἰ νῦν μὲν ... τότε δέ, etc., and ἄξιον δ’ ἐνθυμηθῆναι ὅτι ... [122] Examples are numerous: _e.g._ the speech of Polyaenus (_For the Soldier_, §§ 4-5) shows a simplicity in narrative which Herodotus could not have surpassed. [123] Ch. ii. pp. 26-7. [124] _For the Cripple_, § 7. [125] _For Mantitheus_, §§ 18-21. [126] _For the Cripple_, §§ 1-3. [127] _For the Cripple_, parts of §§ 10-12. [128] _Ibid._, §§ 19-20.
