[37] τῶν δὲ¹ μετʼ ἐκείνους μὲν γεγενημένων, ἄξια δὲ τῆς ἐκείνων ἀρετῆς διαπεπραγμένων, λέγω δὴ τοὺς περὶ Μιλτιάδην καὶ Θεμιστοκλέα καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους, οἳ τὴν Ἑλλάδα ² ἐλευθερώσαντες ἔντιμον μὲν τὴν πατρίδα κατέστησαν,

Notes on the current edition

Funeral Oration

1. This sentence is awkward in Greek because, though τῶν γεγενημένοων is genitive, dependent on ὑπερέσχεν, the writer has inserted ὧν which is not needed. The diffculty can be avoided by placing a comma after ἀνδρῶν and the full stop after διαπεπραγμένων, but then λέγω δὴ makes an abrupt beginning to the new sentence.
