Notes on the current edition

Against Onetor I

1. The remark is sarcastic. Demosthenes represents Onetor as fearing lest the suit of Demosthenes against Aphobus might make it questionable whether the latter would be in a position to repay the marriage-portion, if called upon to do so.
2. That is, at 10 percent, instead of the ordinary 18 percent.
