Inf. with Article as Acc. after a Preposition (Goodwin MT.
? 800). The articular Inf. is extremely common in Demo-
sthenes, as also in Thucydides. The average number of
examples per Teubner page is in Thucydides '45, in his
'speeches' nearly 1 ; in the 'public orations' of Demosthenes
1'25, and in the First Olynthiac as high as 2'75.

That Philip 'exercised any unnecessary severity toward them is certainly
not to be believed (says Thirlwall v 197) on the authority of a rhetorician
(Aristeides i 715) who lived many centuries later; but it would not be
incredible that, at the moment of occupation, some blood was shed in a
military or political tumult, which may have given Demosthenes occasion
for an allusion to Philip's conduct, exactly like that which he makes on
