Notes on the current edition

On the Peace

1. The Spartan kings were powerful in the field, but otherwise were subject to the Ephors, who could even have them put to death. See Gilbert, Greek Consitituional Antiquities pp. 46 ff. and 57 ff.
2. He has in mind the honors shown by the Athenians to the “tyrannicides,” Harmodius and Aristogeiton.
3. See Isoc. 5.80 and Isoc. Letter 2.6 .
4. The ῥιψασπις was not only despised but suffered humiliations and penalties. In Athens, which was less rigorous than Sparta , he lost his political rights.
