(viii 64) observes that the scheme 'must have been more or
less complicated in its details ; not a simple proposition for an

a sentence of the orator's specch. ' The details were probably
given in the speech itself 'as originally published. If Demo-

Dionysius has obviously made several mistakesz--(l) fiaving already
mentioned ' four Philippics,' of which ? ? 1-29 is (in his view) the/mirth, he
describes ? ? 80-51 as the sixth Philippic. By this he must mean the fiflh,
for he mentions the speech de I'nre immediately afterwards, and then
describes Phil. ii as the seventh Philip ic. (2) His description of the
topics of ? ? 30-51 is inaccurate. (3) Tie opening words of ? 80 could
not possibly belong to the beginning of a speech. (4) The result of this
severance would be that ? ? 1--29 would have no proper conclusion, and
? ? 80~51 no proper beginning. rafl'r' e'zr-riv clearly refers to what has
gone before, like ref/m in 1 ? 19 and 70570 in 2 5 18. Besides, the latter
part contains references to the former (? ? 82, 43 to $19; 5 33 to ? 24),
and cannot be separated from it (Dinrlorf, ed. 1846, v pp. 108~9).
It has been coniectured that 61 pet; may include members of the Council.
Now, supposing Dionysius had found in the authority he was following
(probably the Atthidographer Philochorus) that in 01. 108, 2 (847-6 8. 0. )
Demosthenes delivered a speech in the Assembly 'on the protection of the
islanders and of the cities in the Hellespont,' it has been suggested that
in so doing he was acting on behalf of the Council, of which he was an
influential member in that year. Dionysius, in his search for a speech
corresponding to this description, may have fixed on the latter part of the

present speech, especially as several islands happen to be mentioned in
? 32 (Seebeck in ASchaefer Dam. ii2 68).
It has also been suggested that Demosthenes, as a member of the
Council in 347 13. 0. , returned to his scheme of a standing force, which was
still more urgently needed owing to the increasing danger in which Athens
was then placed. He may have brought this scheme before the Council in
a revised form, and after receiving its preliminary sanction, may have
addressed the Assembly on the subject.
Philochorns may have mentioned
some such fact, and Dionysius may have been led thereby to assign
? ? 30'51 to a later (late than ? ? 1--30 (Blass Attische Beredsmnkeit iii 1, 304 ).
Blass is prompted to make this suggestion by a chronological difficulty
recently raised as to ? 35 l. 313.
The unity of the speech has been opposed by Schott (1603), Fabricius
(1705), Leland (1756), Forbiger (1822), Wachsmuth (1826), Held (1831),
Flathe (1832), Seebeck (1838), and Eichler (1883). It has been maintained
by Tourreil (1701), Mounteney (1731), Reiske (1764-9), Auger (1700), Niebuhr
(1805), AGBecker (1815, 1834), Bremi and Weiske (1819), Zimmermann

Sicilian fleet from rounding Males. (ib. vii 168). In any case it would be
difficult to sail from Athens to the Northern Aegean while they were
blowing, and Philip took advantage of this fact in his operations in Thrace
and Macedonia. ' Thc obstinacy and violence of the Etesian winds in J Mg

Dionysius has obviously made several mistakesz--(l) fiaving already
mentioned ' four Philippics,' of which ? ? 1-29 is (in his view) the/mirth, he
describes ? ? 80-51 as the sixth Philippic. By this he must mean the fiflh,
for he mentions the speech de I'nre immediately afterwards, and then
describes Phil. ii as the seventh Philip ic. (2) His description of the
topics of ? ? 30-51 is inaccurate. (3) Tie opening words of ? 80 could
not possibly belong to the beginning of a speech. (4) The result of this
severance would be that ? ? 1--29 would have no proper conclusion, and
? ? 80~51 no proper beginning. rafl'r' e'zr-riv clearly refers to what has
gone before, like ref/m in 1 ? 19 and 70570 in 2 5 18. Besides, the latter
part contains references to the former (? ? 82, 43 to $19; 5 33 to ? 24),
and cannot be separated from it (Dinrlorf, ed. 1846, v pp. 108~9).
It has been coniectured that 61 pet; may include members of the Council.
Now, supposing Dionysius had found in the authority he was following

Demosthenes delivered a speech in the Assembly 'on the protection of the

present speech, especially as several islands happen to be mentioned in
? 32 (Seebeck in ASchaefer Dam. ii2 68).
It has also been suggested that Demosthenes, as a member of the
Council in 347 13. 0. , returned to his scheme of a standing force, which was
still more urgently needed owing to the increasing danger in which Athens
was then placed. He may have brought this scheme before the Council in
a revised form, and after receiving its preliminary sanction, may have
addressed the Assembly on the subject.
Philochorns may have mentioned
some such fact, and Dionysius may have been led thereby to assign
? ? 30'51 to a later (late than ? ? 1--30 (Blass Attische Beredsmnkeit iii 1, 304 ).
Blass is prompted to make this suggestion by a chronological difficulty
recently raised as to ? 35 l. 313.

northern winds, but occasionally point obliquely both towards the west
and towards the east' (St. John's Ancient Greece iii 322). They must have
been blowing from the NE. when they carried Miltiades from the Thracian
Chersonesus to Lemnos (Herod. vi 140), and also when they prevented a
Sicilian fleet from rounding Males. (ib. vii 168). In any case it would be
difficult to sail from Athens to the Northern Aegean while they were
blowing, and Philip took advantage of this fact in his operations in Thrace
and Macedonia. ' Thc obstinacy and violence of the Etesian winds in J Mg
and August . . are well known to those who have had to struggle wit
them in the Aegean in that season ' (Leake's Northern Greece iv 426). Sec
