Notes on the current edition

Areopagiticus

1. Probably the Messenians, who had been made independent of Sparta by the Thebans. See Introduction to Isoc. 6. . Demosthenes, in his speech For the Megalopolitans, criticizes the Athenians for their folly in pledging themselves to aid the Messenians against Spartan aggression. See especially Dem. 16.9 .
2. Such powerful states as Chios , Byzantium , and Rhodes were lost to the Athenian Confederacy by the peace following the “Social War.” Of the seventy-five cities which belonged to the Confederacy the majority remained loyal. See Isoc. 7.2 .
3. Diodorus ( Dio. Sic. 16.22 ) records the celebration in Athens of the victory of Chares, supporting the rebellion of the Satrap Artabazus, over Artaxerxes III. See § 8, note. The occasion of the second celebration is not known.
