Notes on the current edition

Against Demosthenes

1. Compare Din. 1.10 , note and Din. 1.18-22 ; Aeschin. 3.239-240 . Demosthenes was said by his opponents to have accepted money from Persia for use against Macedon , but to have withheld it when Alexander destroyed Thebes in 335 B.C.
2. The house in the Piraeus is mentioned by Din. 1.69 ; and Aeschin. 3. 209 uses these exact words.
3. Din. 1.82 also refers to this event, which took place in 324 B.C. Nicanor, the son-in-law of Aristotle, was sent by Alexander to Olympia to proclaim his demand for the return to their cities of all Greek exiles except the Thebans.
4. The general sense appears to be: All the satraps united with Alexander. You yourself are now a supporter of his and have your agents with every important Macedonian.
