[413] This circumlocution may have been employed originally for the avoidance of hiatus, as in the example quoted, and in § 111, τὰ καλὰ τῶν ἔργων; it is, however, also used in cases where no such consideration enters, _e.g._ § 48, τοὺς ποιητοὺς τῶν πατέρων. [414] _E.g._ § 7, οὐ μικρόν τι μέρος συνέχει τῶν τῆς πόλεως, οὐδ’ ἐπ’ ὀλιγὸν χρόνον, where συνέχει | οὐδ’ is deliberately avoided. [415] _E.g._ §§ 71-73. [416] _E.g._ § 143, καὶ αὐτίκα μάλ’ ὑμᾶς ἀξιώσει ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ ἀπολογουμένου. § 20, πολλοὶ ἐπείσθησαν τῶν μαρτύρων ἢ ἀμνημονεῖν ἢ μὴ ἐλθεῖν ἢ ἑτέραν πρόφασιν εὑρεῖν. [417] See the translation on p. 278. [418] φυγόντα, καὶ ... ἀκούσαντα ..., ἀφικόμενον καὶ ... καταφυγόντα, καὶ οὐδὲν ἣττον ... ἀποθανόντα. [419] §§ 49-50. [420] § 51. [421] § 104. [422] § 95. [423] §§ 3, 10; cf. also § 79. [424] § 150, cf. also § 43. ‘He contributed nothing to the nation’s safety, at a time when the country was contributing her trees, the dead their sepulchres, and the temples their arms.’ And § 17, οὔτε τοὺς λιμένας τῆς πόλεως ἐλεῶν; § 61, πόλεώς ἐστι θάνατος ἀνάστατον γενέσθαι. Hyperides has a similarly bold expression, ‘Condemning the city to death.’ [425] § 11. [426] § 149. [427] § 5. [428] Leocrates was acquitted by one vote only. [429] § 12. ‘It is so far superior to other courts that even those who are convicted before it do not question its justice. You should take it as your model.’ [430] §§ 11-12. [431] §§ 1-2. [432] §§ 92-94. [433] _Against Lysicles_, fr. 75. [434] He could not afford to be particular as to the kind of cases which he took up; the affair of Athenogenes is far from respectable on either side, and several of his speeches were in connexion with _hetairai_ of the less reputable sort. His defence of the famous Phryne was his masterpiece. [435] He mentions these three among the most famous cases in which he has been concerned (_For Euxenippus_, § 28). [436] Demos., _de Cor._, §§ 134-135. [437] Fr. 28. [438] _Vide infra_, p. 295. [439] The agreement of Blass and Kenyon on this point may be taken as conclusive. Small fragments of another speech _For Lycophron_ have been recently published (_Pap. Oxyrh._, vol. xiii.). [440] ἀρχαίων κρίσις, v. 6. [441] ὀβολοστατεῖν was used by Lysias also (fr. 41). [442] Demetrius, περὶ ἑρμηνείας, § 302. [443] _Leoc._, § 40. [444] Fr. 80. [445] _Epitaphios_, § 5. [446] Cf. _de Demos._, col. xi, ἐν τῷ δήμῳ ἑπτακόσια φήσας εἶναι τάλαντα, νῦν τὰ ἡμίση ἀναφέρεις, καὶ οὐδ’ ἐλογίσω ὅτι τοῦ πάντα ἀνενεχθῆναι ὀρθῶς, κ.τ.λ. _Ibid._, col. xiii., καὶ οἱ ἄλλοι φίλοι αὐτοῦ ἔλεγον ὅτι ἀναγκάσουσι, κ.τ.λ. _Euxenippus_, § 19, etc. [447] §§ 1-3, although a full stop occurs in the second line of § 3, are all really one sentence, but in spite of its length it is perfectly lucid. [448] A good example of a story told by a succession of short sentences joined by καὶ is to be found in _Athenogenes_, § 5. [449] Frr. 27-28. [450] _Euxenippus_, §§ 5, 6. [451] Fr. 173. [452] _Euxenippus_, §§ 1-3.
