μὲν ἔτη τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἡγεμόνες κατέστησαν, Φοινίκην δὲ καὶ Κιλικίαν ἐπόρθησαν, ἐπʼ Εὐρυμέδοντι δὲ καὶ πεζομαχοῦντες καὶ ναυμαχοῦντες ἐνίκησαν, ἑκατὸν δὲ τριήρεις τῶν βαρβάρων αἰχμαλώτους ἔλαβον, ἅπασαν δὲ τὴν Ἀσίαν κακῶς ποιοῦντες περιέπλευσαν.
Notes on the current edition
Against Leocrates
1.
Estimates of other orators range from 73 years (
Dem. 9.23
) to 65 years (
Isoc. 12.56
), but in view of the inaccuracy of Lycurgus on historical matters it does not seem necessary to accept Taylor’s suggestion to read
seventy instead of
ninety. The maximum possible length for the period would be 85 years, from the battle of Marathon in
490 B.C. to that of
Aegospotami
in 405.
