Notes on the current edition

Philippic 2

1. To rebuild the walls of Elatea, destroyed in 346, would be a check to the Thebans, as barring their way to Phocis . Philip’s occupation of Elatea in 339 is the theme of the well-known passage in Dem. 18.169 ff. Demosthenes is playing on the two meanings of μέλλει, he is likely to and he is delaying to.
