We are even tol
that a law was carried by Eubulus enacting that the mere proposal t
apply the theoric fund to purposes of war should be punishable by death
(Libanius on OZ. iand schol. ) This is probably a mistaken inference
from the ambiguous use of dnoAe? UOal. in ? 121. 105 q. v. Demosthenes, at
any rate, shows considerable caution in approaching the subject in 1 ? ?
19-- and in the text. For the present he did not succeed in bringing
about any reform. In 34. 6 (0]. 108, 2) Eubulus compelled the Athenians to
ratify the peace of Philocrates by siruply threatening to apply the theoric
fund to the purposes of war (19 ? 291). It was not until Athens was
in imminent peril in 339 (01. 110, 2), on the eve of the battle of
Chaeroneia, that Demosthenes succeeded in carrying his point (Philo-
chorus Frag. 135). Cp. Thirlwall v 300, and ASchaefer i 199-2082. See
