This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1859 edition. Excerpt: ...i. e. possess knowledge by hearsay on that point; similarly Soph. Phil. 261: op Kkfcvs to-&?, "whom perhaps you have heard of, know by hearsay." jEsch.

In the other passage we read: vyyvw/irj, el /it p, erd cca/a'a?, yvmpvryi Se p.aXov apupria, Tt irporrepov airparfpAxrvvr) evavria Top, wp v, where, as in the former example, the past reference on which the emphasis depends, in opposition to the present Top, ap, ev, is involved in the clause fir) fierd Kcuclat K.t.x.: "allowance should be made for us if, when there was previously no malevolence, but only an error of judgment, we now venture on a measure at variance with our former isolation: " for certainly the orator does not imply that the present wish of his countrymen to form an alliance with Athens is an error of judgment: he concedes that only with...
