Notes on the current edition

Against Leptines

1. This aside is intended to give an air of reality to the published speech. Editors well compare a similar trick in Cicero Verr. 2.4.3 .
2. Iphicrates was honored for the defeat of the Spartan mora in the Corinthian War (390), Timotheus for his successful expedition to Corcyra after the battle of Naxos (376). Strabax was presumably a foreign mercenary; Polystratus is mentioned in Dem. 4.24 , as a commander of Athenian mercenaries at Corinth . These last two were rewarded for services under the command of Iphicrates. Clearchus cannot be identified with certainty.
