Notes on the current edition

Against Demosthenes

1. A reference to the oath whereby a man called down imprecations on his children, swearing that he was not guilty of a certain action. Demosthenes had lost his only child, a daughter, in 336 ( Aeschin. 3.77 ); and if he had other children now, they were adopted or by a hetaera. Cf. Athen. 13.592 e .
