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

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.

mist quod paululum te'men'tatem coe'rc'ui (Sauppe), 'only removing a little
the irregularity that exists' (Heslop); i. e. Demosthenes had not proposed
any new laws, he only desired to put a check on an irregular organisation.
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)
corrected by whfiv umpe? v in the next clause, which reduces to a
harmless minimum the proposed improvement in organisation. Sanppe
objects to joining,I 1m,>> fLLKpe? I! with the previous context (as Bekker did
in 1825 and 1835, and also Rudiger), (1) because this phrase does not
suit 'Irpoo'eetg, as Demosthenes had really added nothing new; 2)
because fiyv 6. 70/5qu tivexdw, if it stands alone, means the same as e g

It seems best to regard rfiv draitmv dvehu'w as leading up to elg

the duties of a own-unis or arbitrator (Aristot. Coast. of Athens

that, under his proposed reform, about the same total sum
will be paid to the citizens, but the jn-incjples of the payment

whfiv pixprfi, 'only to a small extent,' is preferred by Blass (in his
ed. of Rehdantz) and is taken with 'r v draitav dvehu'w. But

found with a Com arative, four times with npdrepov, twice with wAeiovs or

whfiv ptprv 'r'nv draifiav dvthv is Bekker's text (1 5 24);
mist quod paululum te'men'tatem coe'rc'ui (Sauppe), 'only removing a little
the irregularity that exists' (Heslop); i. e. Demosthenes had not proposed
any new laws, he only desired to put a check on an irregular organisation.
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)
corrected by whfiv umpe? v in the next clause, which reduces to a
harmless minimum the proposed improvement in organisation. Sanppe
objects to joining,I 1m,>> fLLKpe? I! with the previous context (as Bekker did
in 1825 and 1835, and also Rudiger), (1) because this phrase does not
suit 'Irpoo'eetg, as Demosthenes had really added nothing new; 2)
because fiyv 6. 70/5qu tivexdw, if it stands alone, means the same as e g

to the previous context, in which Demosthenes virtually pro-

intended result of proposals made by him to the same effect
