Notes on the current edition

Philippic 1

1. We learn from Aristot. Ath. Pol. 61.6 , that a ἵππαρχος was regularly sent to Lemnos to take charge of the cavalry there.
2. Identified by Harpocration with a son of Amyntas II. and so half-brother of Philip; more probably a petty Macedonian chief who helped the Athenians at Potidaea in 364, and who is named in a complimentary inscription which has been preserved (C.I.A. 2.55).
