    § p54 Perilaos: Demosthenes, For Ktesiphon. It is a proper name.

  2. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p55

    § p55 Periodos: Demosthenes in the Philipics says, “since (no one fails to know) that just like a course or attack of fever.” Doctors call those that in regular fashion relax and then intensify again'periodic diseases,' for example tertian and quartian fevers. For in those diseases those who suffer seem in the days of their remission not to be sick at all, but to be healthy.

  3. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p56

    § p56 Perioikion [space round a house]: Isaios in the Against Menekrates “Both the perioikion and the oikion [house].” It never means what we call an “epoikion” [outbuilding].

  4. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p57

    § p57 Peripolos [march about, patrol]: Aischines in the On the Embassy. Aristotle in Constitution of the Athenians, writing about the ephebes says this “during the second year, an assembly is held in the theatre at which they are displayed to the demos in battle array and after receiving a shield and spear from the demos, they patrol the countryside and spend their time in the border outposts.” It ought to be noted that Aristotle says that the ephebes go on patrols for one year, while Aischines says two. In this, perhaps, the rhetor recorded the fact that, although all ephebes patrolled as needed, he himself had been on patrol for two years, for which reason he reports and states this thing.

  5. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p58

    § p58 Peristatoi (surrounded by admirers): Isokrates, On The Antidosis: “by worthless conjuring, where circles are formed by silly people,” instead of'around which onlookers stand in a circle.' The word is also in Archidamos and in Eupolis, in Kolakes.

  6. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p59

    § p59 Peristasin (surrounding): Deinarchos in the Tyrrhenikos: “After these things, when Damon, as I was already on the verge of putting to sea, made a surrounding and expected me to testify” and so on. Perhaps what is being said is some such:'he and those with him surrounded me in a circle, and forced me to testify,' so that it has the same meaning as'they made me surrounded.' In some it is written'parastasis.'.

  7. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p60

    § p60 Peristoichizetai: Demosthenes in the Philippics says: “while we delay and sit he is staking us out,” by way of metaphor from hunters. For up and down the animals' trackways they erect straight timbers, which they call poles or pillars, spreading nets across them, so that if the animals flee from them they fall into the nets, as Xenophon indicates in the Kynegetikos. In some (copies) however it is written'peristoichizetai' (he stakes out) but in others even'perischoinizetai' (he is roping around).

  8. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p61

    § p61 Peristoichoi (set in rows): Demosthenes in Against Nikostratos concerning the slaves of Arethousios: “He broke down the plantings of olives arranged in rows.” But Didymos calls a certain variety of olives'peristoichoi,' which Philochoros called'stoichades' (in a row). Perhaps the orator has called those that have been planted in a circle around the area, in a row,'peristoichoi.'.

  9. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p62

    § p62 Pephasmenes: Lykourgos in Against Lykophron for'having taken place.' Lysias in Against Theomnestos, if it is genuine, says, “pephasmenos (openly) is phaneros (clearly).”.

  10. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p63

    § p63 Pephoriosthai: Lysias in the Letter to Polykrates against Empedos, if genuine, says, “either that the other eye is more gray or that it has been covered over with skin” in reference to one that is'closed up,' as Euphorion has used the word; for there are some eyes that have their lids droopy and are sort of closed. But if it is written'pephorinosthai,' it would be'to have been thickened,' from'thick skin' (phorine); for Antiphon in book two of On Truth makes it clear that they apply (the word) “thick skin” also to humans.

  11. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p64

    § p64 Pegai: Andokides in On the Peace, if it is genuine. Pegai is a place in Megara, as Hellanikos says in book 4 of Atthis.

  12. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p65

    § p65 Pelex: Aischines in Against Ktesiphon. Pelekes is a deme of the tribe Leontis, as Diodoros the periegete says.

  13. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p66

    § p66 Pinakia (little tablets): The things that are dropped for lots by those obtaining something by lot. These seem to be bronze, as Demosthenes indicates in On the Name. And in the Philippics when he says, “ Athenians, a small, small little tablet (could stop) everything here,” perhaps he means a little tablet on which are inscribed the charges against those who are being impeached, as also is shown in Deinarchos, in the supporting speech for Aischines.

  14. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p67

    § p67 Pittheus: Pitthos is a deme of the tribe Kekropis.

  15. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p68

    § p68 Pleisteriasantes (having raised the price): For'over-bidding' (or inflating) on the price of the things that are sold; Lysias in Against Andokides, if it is genuine. Also Plato the comic poet has used the word in the Griffins.

  16. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p69

    § p69 Plerotes (filler): Demosthenes, Against Aristogeiton. They used to call those who give the eranos to them who either were allotted it or purchased it'fillers.' These could be those who among us are called'eranarchs.' The word'filler' appears also in Against Meidias and Deinarchos' Against the Sons of Patrokles.

  17. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p70

    § p70 Plintheion: the place in which a brick is molded; Lysias in Against Lysitheos.

  18. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p71

    § p71 Plynteria: Lykourgos in On the Priestess. A festival among the Athenians.

  19. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p72

    § p72 Plotheus: Demosthenes in the ephesis Against Euboulides. Plotheia is a deme of the tribe Aegeis, the demesman from which is a Plotheus.

  20. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p73

    § p73 Podostrabe (foot trap): Hypereides both in Against Athenogenes and in Against Autokles. They used to call certain devices constructed by hunters'foot traps,' upon stepping into which game used to be trapped. Xenophon has discussed their construction in On Hunting, and their use.

  21. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p74

    § p74 Podokakke: Demosthenes, Against Timokrates. The wood in the prison was so called, either with the second kappa inserted, there being some damage to the feet, or else by abbreviation, as Didymos says, as if podokatoche (foot restraint). Lysias in Against Theomnestos, if it is genuine, explains the word. For he says, “the podokakke is that which is now called'to have been bound in the wood.”.

  22. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p75

    § p75 Politeia: the orators were accustomed to use the word in a special sense for the democracy, as both Isokrates in the Panegyrikos and Demosthenes in the Philippics (do).

  23. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p76

    § p76 Polemarchos: Isaios in the defense of the case for apostasiou Against Apollodoros. There was an office among Athenians so called, and it is one of the nine archons. Aristotle in the Constitution of the Athenians, going over what the polemarch administers, says, “for these things(?), the polemarch himself introduces suits for apostasiou and aprostasiou and inheritances and epikleroi, for metics, and otherwise as many things as the archon (handles) for citizens, the polemarch (handles) these things for metics.” Naturally, then, the orator in the aforementioned speech says that Apollodoros gave a pledge before the polemarch. For Apollodoros was a metic, Samian by descent. That it was also a proper name, Polemarchos brother of Lysias, both Lysias himself, in Against Eratosthenes, and Plato, in the first book of the Republic and in the Phaidros, say.

  24. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p77

    § p77 Poliochos and Polyalkes: proper names.

  25. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p78

    § p78 Pompeias kai pompeuein (processions and to process): for'abuses' and'to abuse,' Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. He is using a metaphor from those in the Dionysiac processions who abuse each other on wagons. Menander in Perinthia: “On the wagons there are some exceedingly abusive ribaldries.” And the equipment furnished for the processions was called'pompeia,' as the same orator in Against Androtion indicates. Philochoros says, “Formerly, the Athenians used to use things furnished out of the property of the Thirty, as'pompeia;' but more recently,” he says, “ Androtion furnished other things.”.

  26. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p79

    § p79 Porios: Demosthenes in the ephesis Against Euboulides. Poros is a deme of the tribe Akamantis. the demesman is a Porios.

  27. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p80

    § p80 Porthmos: Demosthenes, For Ktesiphon. This is a city in Euboea.

  28. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p81

    § p81 Polygnotos: Lykourgos in On the Priestess: about Polygnotos the painter, a Thasian by descent and son and student of Aglaophon, but having acquired Athenian citizenship either since he painted the Stoa Poikile for free, or, as others write, the pictures in the Theseion and the Anakeion; others have told the story, including Artemon in On Painters and Iobas in his books on Painting.

  29. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p82

    § p82 Polystratos: Lysias in Against Thrasyboulos, if it is genuine. Polystratos, being guilty of mutilating the Herms was done away with by the Athenians. It would be another Polystratos for whom Lysias has a speech entitled'For Polystratos, defense on a charge of abolishing the demos.' And it would be another Polystratos whom Demosthenes mentions in the Philippics, saying that he once maintained a mercenary force at Korinth. Perhaps, however, one must write there' Polytropos' instead of of' Polystratos.' For Didymos says that in no source has he found Polystratos having led the mercenary force in Korinth. I, then, found Polytropos in the sixth book of Xenophon's Hellenika, but Xenophon said neither that this mercenary force was maintained by Athenians nor that Polytropos was himself an Athenian.

  30. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p83

    § p83 Poseideon: Hypereides in Against Mantitheos. The sixth month among Athenians is so called.

  31. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p84

    § p84 Potamos: Lysias in Against Nikidas for idleness. Potamos is a deme of the tribe Leontis, a dememan of which is a Potamios. They used to be made fun of in comedy as readily accepting the illegally registered, as Menander, in Didymai, and others show.

  32. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p85

    § p85 Proballomenous (putting forward): For'proposing,' as in placing (something) in one's mind before the action, as Demosthenes, For Ktesiphon. In Against Aischines he said that the policy of the government was “put forward and untrusting,” meaning'cautious' and'guarded.' In For Ktesiphon he says, “having thus been put forth as an Amphictyonic delegate and with three or four having voted for him.” In Against Meidias, “And I put forward,” he says, “that this man committed an offense concerning the festival,” for'I employed the preliminary accusation (probole) which is usual and customary against those committing offenses concerning the festival,' ['I named this man among the people']. In the Philippics he says, “He doesn't know how, and isn't willing, to defend himself (proballesthai) or to watch an enemy,” meaning'to raise his hands as for a battle.'.

  33. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p86

    § p86 Probolas (projections): for'safeguards from cities or walls or certain other powers that exist with a view to safety and strength:' Demosthenes in On the Agreement with Alexander, if it is genuine. But in Aischines in On the Embassy the word'probole' has arisen from'putting forward' that someone does wrong.

  34. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p87

    § p87 Probouleuma: that which has been resolved by the Council before being introduced to the Assembly. Demosthenes in Against Aischines.

  35. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p88

    § p88 Probolion: A kind of spear, which hunters use for the hunting of boars. Hypereides in On Defense Against the Tyrrhenians used the word figuratively by way of metaphor. That it often denotes a spear is possible to learn from Xenophon's Kynegetikos.

  36. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p89

    § p89 Proboloi: Rocks that project into the sea and as it were certain promontories: Demosthenes in the Philippics.

  37. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p90

    § p90 Proedroi (presiding officers): Men used to be chosen by lot by the prytaneis, each assembly, one from each tribe, except for the one that was serving as prytanis, who managed the business of the assembly. They used to be called'proedroi' for the very reason that they sat in front (proedreuon) of everyone else. The word appears many times in the orators, for example, in Demosthenes in Against Androtion and in Aischines in Against Ktesiphon. That the one called the'chairman' (epistates) selects them by lot Aristotle has said in the Constitution of the Athenians.

  38. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p91

    § p91 Proerosia: Hypereides in Deliakos. Name of a sacrifice.

  39. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p92

    § p92 Prothesmias nomos: Demosthenes, For Phormion. The orator would be talking about the fixed limit of five years, as he indicates in the speech, as does Lysias in Against Menestratos, if the speech is genuine.

  40. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p93

    § p93 Proklesis (challenge): they were accustomed, whenever people went to law, sometimes to demand female or male slaves for torture or for testifying to the matter, and this used to be called'challenging,' and the document written concerning this used to be named a'challenge.' It appears in many orators. Demosthenes in Against Stephanos also shows what the challenge concerns.

  41. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p94

    § p94 Prokonia (groats): Lykourgos, Against Menesaichmos. “Prokonia,” Didymos says, “are wheat dabbed with honey.” But Aristophanes the grammatikos and Krates say that grains of unroasted barley are called thus. It seems that they come from both wheat and barley, as Autokleides indicates in the Exegetika. And Demon says in On Sacrifices, “and prokonia are parched barleycorns ground with aromatics.”.

  42. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p95

    § p95 Prometretas (pre-measurers): Hypereides in On the Salt Fish. Deinarchos, Against Agasikles: “there was a son of a Scythian pre-measurer and he has come to be among demesmen (i.e. became a deme member) and he has continued pre-measuring in the agora.”.

  43. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p96

    § p96 Pronaia: Aischines in Against Ktesiphon. At Delphi an Athena used to be named Pronaia on account of her being established in front of the temple. Herodotos calls this ( Athena )'Proneie' in book eight. Others have written about her, including Staphylos in On Aiolians.

  44. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p97

    § p97 Propempta: Lysias in Against the Graphe of Mixidemos, if it is genuine, and Demosthenes in On the Estate of Hagnias. Didymos says, “Perhaps (the propempta) are some other payment that comes before the deposit: for there are some who say that a fifth (pempta) of the disputed sum is put down as a deposit, as Lysias implies in Against Apollodoros. Unless propempta (means) as Demosthenes (uses it)'five days before,' since in large cases one day (of notice) did suffice for the trial.”.

  45. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p98

    § p98 Propepokotes (having made a present of): For'having betrayed.' It is said by way of metaphor. Demosthenes, For Ktesiphon. At the beginning of the Myrmidons, Aischylos (says): “Do you see this, brilliant Achilles, / the hardships of the spear-wrecked Danaans, / whom... inside the hut.”.

  46. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p99

    § p99 Propylaia tauta (these propylaia ): Demosthenes in the Philippics. It can be meant demonstratively, inasmuch as the Propylaia are visible from the Pnyx, but it is better to understand it referentially. For they were accustomed to speak thus in reference to very well known things. In Against Aischines, at least, Demosthenes himself says, “he asked Satyros here, the comic actor.” And about the Propylaia of the Akropolis, that Athenians began construction in the archonship of Euthymenes [437/6 BCE], under the architect Mnesikles, others have recorded, including Philochoros in the fourth book. And Heliodoros in book one of On the Akropolis at Athens, after other things says also this: “They were totally completed in five years and 2012 talents were spent. And they made five gates, through which people enter the Akropolis.”.

  47. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p100

    § p100 Prosepoiesato: For'laid claim to;' Isaios in Against Nikodemos: “no one ever laid claim to or disputed his inheritance.”.

  48. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p101

    § p101 Prosklesis (summons): the call to court, and to order to trial is to'summon' (proskalesasthai): Demosthenes in On the Estate of Hagnias, Hypereides in Against Damippos.

  49. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p102

    § p102 Prospaltioi: Lysias in On the Estate of Makartatos. Prospalta is a deme of the tribe Akamantis.

  50. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p103

    § p103 Prostates (protector): those who protected the metics at Athens used to be called prostatai. For it was necessary that each of the metics have as a prostates an Athenian citizen: Hyperides in Against Aristagora; also Menander has mentioned (this) in the beginning of the Perinthian Girl.

  51. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p104

    § p104 Prostasia (protection): Demosthenes in Against Onetor: “Is this not an admitted case of protection?” for'assistance of someone who is protecting and aiding one who is wronged.' Aischines in On the Embassy: “that it is necessary to transfer the Propylaia of the Athenians' Acropolis to the entrance of the Kadmeia.” Didymos says that'prostasis' appears for'prostasis,' that is, for that which is called by some'prostas' (vestibule).

  52. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p105

    § p105 Pros tei pylidi Hermes ( Hermes by the gate): Demosthenes in Against Euergos. Philochoros in the fifth book says, “when Athenians began to fortify Peiraieus the nine archons, having dedicated this, inscribed:'when first they began to fortify, these men dedicated this, obeying the decisions of council and people.”.

  53. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p106

    § p106 Prostimemata (additional fines): there are certain fines determined in the laws against wrongdoers, for example the epobelia in Isaios in Against Diokles, and there are also others that the jury court awards in addition, as Demosthenes shows in Against Timokrates.

  54. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p107

    § p107 Prostropaion (polluted person/thing): Aischines, On the Embassy: “Will you, then, permit him, such a polluted person” for'pollution' and'defilement.' And purification (prostrope) is said alongside (or'deriving from') this. In Against Ktesiphon anyway the orator deploys the words in parallel. And this word appears in Deinarchos in Against Phormisios for impiety.

  55. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p108

    § p108 Proteleia (preliminary rites): Lykourgos in On the Priestess. Those things that happen or are given before any of the things offered to the divinity are fulfilled are called preliminary rites.

  56. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p109

    § p109 Prophereis: those who are young but seem older. Aischines in Against Timarchos.

  57. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p110

    § p110 Prosphora (offering): for'revenue,' Antiphon in On the Lindians' Tribute. And the word appears in others.

  58. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p111

    § p111 Procheirotonia (preliminary vote): Such a thing seems to happen at Athens, whenever, after the Council has finished preliminary deliberations, its resolution is brought to the People. First a show of hands is taken in the Assembly as to whether it seems best that the people take consideration concerning the preliminary deliberations, or whether the preliminary decree suffices. These matters are indicated in the speech of Lysias Against the Graphe of Mixidemos.

  59. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p112

    § p112 Proschaireteria: Lykourgos in the diadikasia of the Krokonidai. A festival celebrated among Athenians when Kore seems to depart.

  60. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p113

    § p113 Prytaneia: Isokrates in the counter-suit Against Kallimachos. The prytaneia appear also among other Attic authors. It was a sum of money that both parties who were going to law used to pay, both the defendant and the prosecutor.

  61. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p114

    § p114 Prytaneias: Antiphon in Against Nikokles. The prytaneia is a number of days, either 30 or 35, for which each tribe serves as prytanis. Aristotle has discussed these in the Constitution of the Athenians.

  62. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p115

    § p115 Prytaneuonta: properly for'being prytanis,' but for'managing,' Demosthenes in the Philippics. And in another Philippic he says'prytaneuomenoi' for'managed' and'maintained.'.

  63. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p116

    § p116 Prytaneis: the tenth part of the council of 500, 50 men from each tribe, who manage everything that is done by the council, used to be called prytaneis. The ten tribes used to serve as prytaneis in succession to each other, chosen by lot, as Aischines (shows) in Against Ktesiphon.

  64. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p117

    § p117 Ptoiodoros: Demosthenes. A proper name.

  65. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p118

    § p118 Pyanopsia: Lykourgos in Against Menesaichmos: “and we call this festival Pyanopsia, but the other Greeks (call it) Panopsia, because they see all (pantas) the fruits in sight (en opsei).” Apollonios and nearly all who have written on the festivals at Athens say that on the 7th of Pyanepsion the Pyanepsia are celebrated for Apollo. They say that one must say'Pyanepsia' and the month' Pyanepsion.' For they boil beans (pyana hepsousin) in it and the fruit-branch is carried.

  66. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p119

    § p119 Pygela: Lysias in For Bacchios, if it is genuine. Pygela is a city in Ionia, which Theopompos says in book 6 got its name when some of the men with Agamemnon stayed there on account of a disease to do with their buttocks (pygai).

  67. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p120

    § p120 Ptomata elaion (fallings of olives): Lysias in Against Nikides. He could mean either the fallen fruit of the trees or the trees themselves, having fallen by some chance.

  68. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p121

    § p121 Pyelida (setting): what is called by us sphragidophylakion (seal-keeper): Lysias in Against Euphemos and Aristophanes in Heroes.

  69. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p122

    § p122 Pythaea: Hypereides, Against Apellaios. Confusion what he meant by this in Didymos, because according to the people that scholar cited, he identified the festival as Pythia and Apollo as Pythios.

  70. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p123

    § p123 Pykni ( Pnyx ): Hypereides in the first speech For Chairephilos says, “and when the Pnyx discovered as much.” The assembly of the Athenians used to be called thus. There is much mention of it among Attic authors. And Kleidemos in the third book of Protogonia says, “They used to assemble at the Pnyx, named on account of the fact that the community is packed tight.”.

  71. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p124

    § p124 Pylai kai Pylaia kai Pylagoras: Thermopylai is called Pylai: Demosthenes in the Philippics. It was called this on account of the fact that this entrance, as one journeys from Thessaly to Phokis, is narrow. The assembly of the Amphiktyones at Pylai used to be called a Pylaia: Demosthenes For Ktesiphon. That there used to be an assembly of the Amphiktyones at Pylai, both Hypereides in the Epitaphios and Theopompos in book 30 have said. From the cities that belonged to the Amphiktyony certain people, who were called Pylagorai, used to be sent. Many also mention these things, for example Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon and Aristophanes in the second Thesmophoriazusai.

  72. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p125

    § p127 Poletai kai poleterion: The poletai are an office at Athens, 10 men in number, one from each tribe. They administer everything sold by the city: taxes and mines and leases and confiscated items. Hypereides in Against Aristagora 2. Aristotle has also discussed them in the Constitution of the Athenians. The place where the poletai hold council is called the poleterion: Isaios in Against Elpagoras, many times.

    § p128 Polas: for'sales.' Hypereides in Against Apellaios. The word is also in Sophron's Andreia.

  76. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:p129

    § p129 Polosi (they sell): Demosthenes in Against Neaira, “or sell something openly in the agora.” Didymos says (that this is) for'they prostitute themselves openly.' For to furnish oneself to the willing is'to sell,' whence (comes) also'to be a prostitute' (porneuein), which is'to sell' (pernanai). But I say that here the orator applied'to sell' in the proper sense. For he says that “the law does not permit one to seize an adulterer (who is)'with those women' whoever reside in a workshop (i.e. brothel) or sell something (i.e. prostitute themselves) openly in the agora.”.

    § p130 Pomala: For'not at all;' Demosthenes in Against Aischines. The'po' (πῶ, where) is Doric, used for'pothen' (πόθεν, whence). The'mala' (μάλα, quite) either is redundant or else'pomala' is said in certain cases, just as'ou mala' (not much) and'ou pany' (not at all). It is common in old comedy. Aristophanes: "'Is it that you had a quarrel?''Not at all. I did not say anything.'".

    § r3 Rhetorike graphe (suit against an orator): Isaios in Against Eukleides. The public suit against an orator if he wrote something or proposed or did something illegal, seems to be called a'rhetorike graphe,' just as the one against a prytaneus is also called'prytanike' and the one against an epistates'epistatike.' But perhaps for this reason certain public suits are called'rhetorikai,' namely because the public suits against the orators are introduced according to different laws, as Antiphon indicates in Against a Prytaneus, if it is genuine.

    § r6 Rhodonia: Demosthenes in On the Slaves of Arethousios. Rhodonia is the rose plant, just as ionia [violet] is the violet plant, as Heketaios explains in book 1 of the Periegesis.

  84. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:r7

    § r7 Rhothion (crashing): Hypereides in On Polyeuktos Serving as General. It is called'rhothion' from the crashing (rhothos) heard from the oars when they are driving hard. The word appears in many works including in Aristophanes, in the Knights, and in Thucydides, in book four.

  85. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:r8

    § r8 Rhoptron (knocker): Lysias, Against Andokides for impiety: “He tied the horse to the temple's knocker.” Here, he means the door's ring, as also others (do), (for example) Aristophanes, in Amphiareus, and Xenophon in book six of of the Hellenika.

  87. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:s1

    § s1 Saboi: Demosthenes, For Ktesiphon. Some think that the Saboi are men dedicated to Sabazios (i.e. Dionysos ), just as the Bacchi are to Bacchus. So some, including Nymphis book 2 on Herakleia, say that Sabazius and Dionysos are the same and that some Greeks therefore called the Bacchi “Saboi”. But Mnaseas the Pataran says that Sabazios is the son of Dionysos.

    § s2 Seirina: Lykourgos, On the Administration. They used to call a light, loosely woven himation a'seirion' ( dog day garment), like a harvest-time cloak (theristron), as the lexicographers say. And the light and sheer chiton is a'seiren,' well suited then when the Dogstar (Seirios) is (on the rise). There is also an Italian city Seiris, and perhaps the orator called textiles from there or some other things'seirina.' In some (authors) moreover, it is written without the epsilon,'sirina.'.

    § s7 Sekos [enclosure]: A speech of Lysias is entitled On the Defence of the Piety of the Enclosure, in which it is clear that the speech is about olive trees having been cut down. The rhetor writes in it “who farmed for two years without appropriating an olive tree of his own, a sacred one, or the enclosure.” So perhaps they called the privately owned ones “olive trees” and the publically owned ones “sacred.” The enclosure, it seems, they also called sacred.

  94. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:s8

    § s8 Serangion: Lysias in Against Androtion. A place in Peiraieus used to be so called. Aristophanes also mentions it in Georgoi.
