lose their allowances. Pay for military service was already
customary (Gilbert Gk. Const. Ant. i 3562:319 Engl. ed. ).
Demosthenes desired to apply further funds to this purpose
(1 ? 19 Ti 0171! ; . . 0'1) 'ypdzpeis 'raU'r' 6211a; o'rpaflw'rmd; K'rh. ) He
meets the supposed objection to this transfer of the theorie
fund by a prompt rejoinder admitting the fact, but adding that
in his view everything should be put on the same footing,
so that none of the citizens should receive payment except for
services actually rendered, whether in the field or otherwise.

the irregularity that exists' (Heslop); i. e. Demosthenes had not proposed

For this purpose he had suggested the repeal of certain laws (5 10).
The exaggeration in oi'rr' dtbelu'av oii're wpoeri; is (on this view)
