Notes on the current edition

On the Embassy

1. When citizens were called out for military service, if it was not necessary to call the whole body of reserves, the men of some specified age were called. e.g. all between the ages of twenty and thirty, or twenty and forty (cp. Aeschin. 2.133 ). Since the names of the men of a given age were kept in the register under the name of the Archon Eponymos in whose year they came of age, such a levy was called στρατεία ἐν τοῖς ἐπωνύμοις. If only a part of such an age-group was called out, it was called a division levy ( στρατεία ἐν τοῖς μέρεσιν).
2. In 363 b.c. See Xen. Hell. 7.2.17 ff.
