? NOTES ON THE
FIRST PHILIPPIC (OR. IV)
? 1. 'Tmz: Exordium of the First Philippic agrees in most essential par-
ticulars with the beginning of the first in the collection (of Prooelnia);
but above one-half of the latter is wholly omitted in the Exordiuin of the
real oration ; only a rt of it is, in substance, though in different words,
afterwards introducec into the latter part of the speech (? ? 2, 38).
Now,
whoever shall read this first Prooemium will at once perceive that the first
few sentences are so general as to be capable of being used for almost any
speech delivered at any time; and that the rest consists 0f topics which
might be used at any time when afl'airs were going on badly. It is quite
plain, then, that the Exordiiun was intended for pretty general use, and
that part of it was used as an Exordium, part introduced in the course of
the oration, and the rest never used at all. '--Brougham's ' Dissertation on
the Eloquence of the Ancients,' vol. vii p. 85 of his Works ed. 1872. Cp.
Blass Attische Be'redsamkeit 111 i2 pp. 78, 301, 326.
The earliest extant example of a similar Exordium is the parody in
Aristoph. E601. 151 e'BovMipalv (Liv E'npov iv 163v 1&9va [ M' (w 115. Bs'A'er',

? NOTES ON THE
FIRST PHILIPPIC (OR. IV)
? 1. 'Tmz: Exordium of the First Philippic agrees in most essential par-
ticulars with the beginning of the first in the collection (of Prooelnia);
but above one-half of the latter is wholly omitted in the Exordiuin of the
real oration ; only a rt of it is, in substance, though in different words,
afterwards introducec into the latter part of the speech (? ? 2, 38).
Now,
whoever shall read this first Prooemium will at once perceive that the first
few sentences are so general as to be capable of being used for almost any
speech delivered at any time; and that the rest consists 0f topics which
might be used at any time when afl'airs were going on badly. It is quite
plain, then, that the Exordiiun was intended for pretty general use, and
that part of it was used as an Exordium, part introduced in the course of
the oration, and the rest never used at all. '--Brougham's ' Dissertation on
the Eloquence of the Ancients,' vol. vii p. 85 of his Works ed. 1872. Cp.
Blass Attische Be'redsamkeit 111 i2 pp. 78, 301, 326.
The earliest extant example of a similar Exordium is the parody in
Aristoph. E601. 151 e'BovMipalv (Liv E'npov iv 163v 1&9va [ M' (w 115. Bs'A'er',
