Notes on the current edition

Against Conon

1. Panactum was an Athenian fort on the borders of Boeotia . An expedition to this point in 343 B.C . is mentioned by Demosthenes in Dem. 19.326 . However, as we are told by Aristot. Ath. Pol. 42.4 , that the ἔφηβοι (young men of military age), in the second year of their training, patrolled the country and spent their spare time in the forts, it may be that no formal military expedition is meant. In that case the loose discipline is more understandable.
