It has also been suggested that possibly, as in the trierarchic mm 0 {at

duties at the cost of the middle classes (EMiiller; cp. Boeckh Publ. Econ.

reform of the war-tax, similar to the speaker's later reform of the
trierarchy, and holds that Demosthenes must have drawn up a definite
and complete scheme for that purpose. It is not necessary, owever, to
regard the text as implying anything more than a simple exhortation to
all classes to do their duty honestly under the existing system of taxation

tive speeches Demosthenes never names his opponents; to do
so would have doubtless been considered 'unparliamentary. '
The orator's plea for 'giving every speaker a hearing' clearly
shows that, for the present, he had not attained a position of
