page 10 note 12 This is part of the conventional δε⋯νωσις, but its effectiveness would be considerably reduced if no time limit, however generous, obtained.

page 10 note 14 Jebb, op. cit., p. 304, observes that the arguments are not as clearly and concisely stated as in the seventeenth speech.

page 10 note 15 The instances of its occurrence in Isaeus (2. 34; 3. 12, 76) and Demosthenes (45. 8; 54. 36; 57. 21) certainly do not seem to be explicable on the grounds of time shortage, and serve only to confirm the impression that its inclusion was fairly haphazard. It will, however, be noted, that it occurs in two out of the eleven extant complete speeches of Isaeus.

page 11 note 2 The fact that Xenophon shows a marked preference for πρ⋯τον μ⋯ν … ἔπειτα δ⋯, but uses πρ⋯τον μ⋯ν … ἔπειτα in two places in speeches (Anab. 3. 3. 27; Cyrop. 1. 4. 11), perhaps suggests that the latter form was the one sanctioned by formal rhetorical usage.

page 11 note 5 A possible distinction, since its conception as a figure of speech would render it more effective as a means of presenting arguments than events.
