Notes on the current edition

Against Ctesiphon

1. After Thebes revolted from Alexander, her citadel was still held by a garrison of his mercenaries.
2. This accusation is elaborated in Deinarchus’ speech against Demosthenes ( Dein. 1.18-21 ). He says that the Arcadians came up as far as the Isthmus, and that their general offered their services for ten talents, but that Demosthenes refused to furnish the money to the Thebans, who were conducting the negotiations, and so the Arcadian general sold out to the Macedonians and led his troops home.
3. The rich Athenian took his turn in serving the city as choregus, contributing to meet the expenses of some state festival. Demosthenes, too, is a rich man of the choregus class, but all his contributions are to serve his own lusts.
