against Meidias is assigned by Dionysius to 01. 107, 4, 349 3. 0. If so, the
Dionysia at which Demosthenes was insulted by Meidias belonged to
March 350 3. 0. ; Demosthenes was probably appointed xoprryds at the
beginning of the previous Attic year, July 351 3. 0. , and it was probably
at the same date that Meidias was appointed an e'mpequrjg for the same
Dionysia. If we lace the First Philippic early in 351 3. 0. , we find, in July
of that year, the emneAn-rai' still elected by open voting, so that the later
method of appointing them by lot (mentioned by Aristotle) must have
come into force after the date of Meidias' appointment, a fortiori after the
date of this speech, which is in any case earlier than that a pointment,
whether we place the speech against Meidias in 349 3. 0. (wit Dionysius
and ASchaefer) or in 347 3. 0. (with Weil and Blass). Thus Mixwa'w is
inapplicable to the e? mneamai at the date when the First Philippic was
delivered.
This discrepancy leads Blass to suggest that in 347 3. 0. , when Demo-
sthenes was a member of the Council, be renewed his proposal for a
standing force, and, after submitting it to the Council, brought it before
the Assembly in a revised form. In this case find; in ? 30 would refer to
members of the Council and to a wpofiooaevna of that body (Seebeck Z.
f. Alt. 1838 p. 784). If the scheme was formally approved by the people,
though not actually carried into effect, it may have been mentioned by
Philochorus in connexion with the events of the year, and Dionysius may
have thereby been led to assign the latter part of the speech to a later date
than ? ? 1-29. Blass suggests that ? 30 and (i'ya) 'ye'ypazba (? 33), as well as
xa'i 'r'hv 16w Awwaiwv and e? Kau-e? pwv (? 35), belong to the speech in its later

to the earlier date (351 3. 0. ); otherwise, Olynthus would have been added
to the list of places to which Athens had failed to send timely aid (Alt.
Ber. III i 304 f).
As an alternative we may suggest the simpler expedient of supposing
that in Adxwaw Demosthenes adopts a word applicable to the Athlothetae
and the Archon, and that the Epi'meletae are disregarded as minor officials
in comparison with the Are-hon, especially as they were concerned with the

tragedies or comedies know that they must receive a chorus
(xopov hay/Saran) from the Archon ; the Archon, again, knows
that he must receive the names of' the xopn'yol from the officials
connected with the tribes (Aristotle 1. c. ); and the (maehmal

advance. Such were the persons to whom Themistocles
assigned the duty of building ships. Such also were the
trierarchs of the 100 vessels set apart in 431 8. 0. for the
defence of Attica (Thue. ii 4); and lastly, the 400 annual
trierarchs mentioned in a work of the fifth century, [Xen. ]
'A017valwv Mimi" (3 ? 4). The naval archives of Athens
show that this arrangement continued still longer. But at the
time of the delivery of this speech we find that the trierarchs
were not appointed until a fleet was to be prepared for active
service. At a later period, however, the trierarchs were once
more appointed permanently. The appointment rested with
the generals (Boeckh Publ. Econ. bk. iv c. 11 p. 696 Lamb).

rather than 'choir-master. ' It was the duty of' the choregus
to bear the expense of providing and training the chorus in
public representations, whether in the theatre, in connexion
with tragic, satyric, or comic dances, or elsewhere, as in lyric
choruses of' men or boys, in pyrrhic or cyclic dances, or in
performances on the flute. The ceremonies at which a choregns
was required were those of' the greater Dionysia, the Lenaea,
the Thargelia, and the Panathenaea (Dem. Lept. Introd. p. iv
ed. Sandys). yupvao-(apxos, ' superintendent of the festal

Hephaestus and Pan, and also in the Panathenaea, the Lenaea,
perhaps also in the Thesea, and in certain funeral ceremonies

through the e? mneM-ral 11"); ? uMis, decided who should undertake
the duty in each instance; and in so doing they were guided
by a rescribed order of rotation (ib. pp. iii, vi). Cp. 39 ? 7.
Accor ing to Aristotle Coast. of Athens 56 ? 3, it was only
in the case of comic choruses that the tribes nominated the

made a grant, though they admit that there is no evidence
for this in the case of the hyroup'ylai above mentioned, but
only in the dpxitkwpla and the 'rpnypapxla. (so Westermann).
The Xopn'yol had in fact to make payments and not to receive
them. It is therefore better to understand lime-row iii/. 6511, 'each
of you,' so far as he is respectively concerned in any of the
above festivals (so Blass). Thus the composers of competing
tragedies or comedies know that they must receive a chorus
(xopov hay/Saran) from the Archon ; the Archon, again, knows
that he must receive the names of' the xopn'yol from the officials
connected with the tribes (Aristotle 1. c. ); and the (maehmal
of the great Dionysia know that they must receive a grant of
100 wines from the State towards the expenses of the procession
in the greater Dionysia (ib. ? 4).

fpvrlpiipxo'us: in earlier times trierarchs were appointed in
advance. Such were the persons to whom Themistocles
assigned the duty of building ships. Such also were the
trierarchs of the 100 vessels set apart in 431 8. 0. for the
defence of Attica (Thue. ii 4); and lastly, the 400 annual
trierarchs mentioned in a work of the fifth century, [Xen. ]
'A017valwv Mimi" (3 ? 4). The naval archives of Athens
show that this arrangement continued still longer. But at the
time of the delivery of this speech we find that the trierarchs
were not appointed until a fleet was to be prepared for active
service. At a later period, however, the trierarchs were once
more appointed permanently. The appointment rested with
the generals (Boeckh Publ. Econ. bk. iv c. 11 p. 696 Lamb).
