§ e178 Heolokrasia: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon: “But this man is at fault, since he splattered me with, as it were, dregs of his own depravity.” And Didymos: “This man pours on me today the things that he mixed up yesterday and the day before, and says that I did them.”.

§ z1 Zeira etoi seira (zeira or seira): As some (say), it was a garment that they used to put on after their tunics, just like cloaks: Lysias in Against Philip, if it is genuine. Also Xenophon on book seven of the Anabasis, talking about Thracians, says, “and, on horses, they wear zeiras down to their feet but not mantles.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:z2
§ z2 Zeuxis: Isokrates, On the Antidosis. Best of the painters at that time.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:z3
§ z3 Zelotypoun (to be jealous of): Aischines in Against Ktesiphon, for'to hate.' For to give one's blessing is'zeloun' (to esteem/admire), while to have come into enmity is'zelotupoun.'.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:z4
§ z4 Zetetes (investigator): A certain magistracy at Athens appointed according to circumstances, if ever it should be necessary to investigate those doing any wrong at the expense of the public. Demosthenes in Against Timokrates and Andokides in On the Endeixis. This orator was at one time also an investigator, as Lysias says, and Isokrates and Plato the comic poet in Ambassadors.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h1
§ h1 Hegemonia dikasteriou (presidency of a court): Aischines, Against Ktesiphon. Various suits were allotted to various magistrates. And the magistrates, each according to the law of the office, used to introduce the suits brought before them to the court, as presider and foreman. For example, to the Archon went suits of orphans and epikleroi, and to the Archon Basileus went cases of impiety, and to the Polemarch went cases of apostasiou (departure from a manumittor) and aprostasiou (failure to have a prostates), and to the Themosthetes went cases of both xenia (being an alien) and bribery by an alien, and malicious prosecution and bribery and false registration and hybris and seduction and conspiracy and other suits.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h2
§ h2 Hegemon symmorias (leader of a symmory): Demosthenes in Against Ktesiphon. He who was foremost in wealth and owing to this was selected to lead the others used to be called'leader of a symmory,' as Hypereides indicates in Against Polyeuktos.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h3
§ h3 Hegemon: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. He was one of those taking the Macedonian side and attacked for taking bribes.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h4
§ h4 Hegesippos: Demosthenes in the Phillipic. This is the one nicknamed'Krobylos,' to whom the seventh Philippic of Demosthenes seems to be attributed.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h5
§ h5 Hedyleion: Demosthenes in Against Aischines. Hedyleion is a mountain in Boeotia, as Theopompos also says in book 25.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h6
§ h6 Or tearing down in the road: for'catching one who is lying in ambush,' that is slaying one (who is lying) in an ambush. Demosthenes in Against Aristokrates.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h7
§ h7 Eetioneia: Antiphon in On the Revolution. The other point of Peiraieus used to be called thus, after the one who acquired the land, Eetion, as Philochoros says in the antigraphe Against Demon. Thucydides also mentions Eetioneia in book eight.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h8
§ h8 Ekroteriasmenoi (having mutilated): Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon: “each having mutilated his own country” for'having outraged.' For those who outrage people were accustomed to chop off their extremities, for example Sophokles in Polyxena. Moreover,'ekroteriasmenoi' appears here for the active'ekroteriakotes.'.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h9
§ h9 Heliaia kai heliasis: The greatest court of those at Athens is the Heliaia, in which public actions over matters used to be tried, 1000 or 1500 jurors convening (for the purpose). The 1000 used to convene from two courts and the 1500 from three. To try a case in the Heliaia is to'heliazesthai' and'heliasis.' Lysias in Against Glaukon names the Heliaia many times, and in Against Philonides, if it is genuine, he used'heliazesthai.'.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h10
§ h10 Helikia tes poleos (the city's manhood): for'those in their prime,''the neoi:' Lykourgos, Against Aristogeiton and Demosthenes in the Philippics.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h11
§ h11 Hemiekton kai hemimedimnon (half-hekteus and half-medimnos): Deinarchos in the impeachment Against Kallisthnes. Since the medimnos has 48 choinikes, it is the case that a half-medimnos contains 24 choinikes, and that a half-hekteus contains 4 choinikes, (being) the half of the sixth, which is 8 choinikes.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h12
§ h12 Hemioliasmos: Antiphon in the Politikos, “doubling and multiplying by one and a half” for'to give at a rate of one and a half' in calculations. A number that has another whole and the half of itself, such as three compared to two, is'half again more' (hemiolios). Xenophon at any rate in the Anabasis says that he made the wage half again more, three half-Darics instead of one Daric.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h13
§ h13 Epeiron (land/mainland/continent): It is Isokrates' custom to call the land that is under the king of the Persians thus, for example in to Philip and Archidamos.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h14
§ h14 Herakleia: Demosthenes in Against Aischines. Though there are many Herakleias (festivals of Herakles ) throughout Attica, here Demosthenes would be mentioning either those in Marathon or in Kynosarges. For Athenians used to hold these in especially high regard.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h15
§ h15 Heraion Teichos: Demosthenes in the Philippics. There is a place so named in Thrace, and it was founded by Samians, as Dionysios says in book 5 of Ktiseis.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h16
§ h16 Eria (mounds): Lykourgos in Against Autolykos. Tombs are'eria,' as also the orator himself makes clear. But some say that, rather commonly, all tombs are so named, especially those that do not have built structures on top, but whenever the bodies are laid down in the ground; and that they are named from'era' (earth).
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h17
§ h17 Esmen (we knew): For'we knew' (eideimen). Antiphon in the defense Against the Endeixis of Kallias: “Thus we knew neither how how much seamanship was necessary.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h18
§ h18 Eitemenen (having been begged): for'having been borrowed:' Demosthenes in Against Euergos, if it is genuine. For that they used to call'borrowing''begging' Menander (shows): “neither asking for fire nor begging for a dish.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h19
§ h19 Hephaistia: Hypereides in On Behalf of Akademos. That there were two cities of Lemnos, Myrina and Hephaistia, Dionysios the Chalkidian shows in Book three of Foundations.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:h20
§ h20 Eion: Demosthenes in the Against Aristokrates. Eion is a city in Thrace, a colony of the Mendeans, as Thucydides (says). Theopompos says in book four that the Athenians devastated the area after they threw the Amphipolitans out of Eion.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th1
§ Th1 Thargelia: Hypereides in Against Polyeuktos. The Thargelia is a festival and it is celebrated in the month of Thargelion, which is sacred to Apollo.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th2
§ Th2 Themenos ta hopla (having put arms): for'having put on' (arms) and'having armed oneself,' Demosthenes in Against Meidias. Also Homer, “and he put his helmet on his stout head.” Also Aischines, Against Timarchos, says, “Man, for the city on whose behalf you do not don arms.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th3
§ Th3 Themisteuein (to declare right / answer by oracle): For'to deliver oracles:' Lysias in On the Abortion, if it is genuine. That the word has arisen from the fact that Themis once held the oracle, before Apollo, Aischylos says at the start of the Eumenides.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th4
§ Th4 Themison: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. Proper name. He was a tyrant.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th5
§ Th5 Theogeiton: Demosthenes in the same. But some called this man Theogenes, for example Deinarchos in Against Demosthenes.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th6
§ Th6 Theognis: Lysias in Against Eratosthenes. He was one of the Thirty Tyrants among the Athenians, as various people say, especially Xenophon in Hellenika book two. Isokrates mentions the poet Theognis in his Advice to Nikokles: this man was a Megarian, from the Megara near Attica, since the poet himself says, “for I at least came once even to Sicily.” Not having paid attention to this Plato in Laws book one said he was a citizen of the Megara in Sicily. Not a few have followed Plato.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th7
§ Th7 Theoinion: Lykourgos in the diadikasia of the Krokonidai against the Koironidai. The festivals of Dionysos ( Dionysia ) held in the demes used to be called the Theoinia, in which the gennetai used to sacrifice. For they used to call Dionysos'theoinos' (wine god), as Aischylos shows, as does Istros in book 1 of the Synagoge.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th8
§ Th8 Theokrines: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon abusing Aischines says “tragic Theokrines.” He wishes to call him a sycophant, since Theokrines was such, as is clear from Against Theokrines, whether that speech is by Demosthenes or Deinarchos. At any rate he reasonably labeled a man who had once been a tragic actor and later a sycophant “tragic Theokrines.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th9
§ Th9 Therapnai: Isokrates in Helen. Therapnai is a place in Lakedaimon, which Alkman also mentions in book 1.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th10
§ Th10 Therman: Aischines in the defense On the Embassy. This is a Thracian town, as also Theopompos says in book 22.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th11
§ Th11 Thermopylai: Isokrates in the Panegyrikos. Some call this city' Pylai', but Phileas says in his Periodos of the Earth that it was called' Thermopylai,' since Athena made hot (therma) baths for Herakles there.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th12
§ Th12 Thersandros: Aischines, Against Timarchos. That he was a hardcore pederast Aristogeiton shows in Against Timarchos.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th13
§ Th13 Thesthai: For'to receive security:' Hypereides in Against Hygiainon; but for'to accept and ratify a law:' Demosthenes. For it is said applying to the laws, that on the one hand the lawgiver'gave' while on the other the people'gave themselves' (i.e., enacted, laws): Demosthenes in On the Tax Immunities. In Against Stephanos, however, he says, “having enacted individual laws for himself,” perhaps for'having given.'.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th14
§ Th14 Thesmos (that which is laid down): long ago each one of the laws used to be called a'thesmos,' and so Demosthenes, in Against Aristokrates, has called the entire form of the constitutuion.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th15
§ Th15 Thesmothetai: Demosthenes in Against Androtion. In Athens there is a magistracy of the thesmothetai, being six in number, and they are part of the so-called nine archons. They are so called because they used to have care of the laws. And the laws used to be called'thesmoi,' as I said already. That these men used to revise the laws each year Aischines has said in Against Ktesiphon and Theophrastos in book three of Laws. Aristotle in the Constitution of the Athenians recounts in detail what these men do.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th16
§ Th16 Thetes (one who places): Perhaps they call him who has deposited a hypothek a'placer,' not as Didymos says, one who adopted. For they used to call, he says, adoptees'placed.'.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th17
§ Th17 Thettalos: Lysias, Against Nikides. One of Kimon's sons was called Thettalos, as Heliodoros says in On the Akropolis.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th18
§ Th18 Theudosian: Demosthenes in On the Tax Immunities. It is a territory lying near the Skythians, which Satyros died besieging.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th19
§ Th19 Theorika: Demosthenes, in a Phillipic. Theorika were certain common funds, collected from the city's revenues. Previously these used to be kept for the needs of war and were called'military funds' (stratiotika), but later they were paid toward public works and distributions, which Agyrrhios the demagogue first started. Philochoros in book three of Atthis says, “The theoric fund was first reckoned as a drachma for the spectacle, whence it also took the name” and so forth. Philinos, in Against the Statues of Sophokles and Euripides, speaking about Euboulos, says, “it was called theoric because when the Dionysia were near Euboulos made distributions for the sacrifice so that all may celebrate the festival and so that none of the citizens may be left out of the spectacle owing to the poverty of his own resources.” Elsewhere, however, it is otherwise defined as that which is given for spectacles and sacrifices and festivals, as is clear from the first of Demosthenes' Philippics. That it was not possible for those who were out of town to receive theoric money Hypereides has made clear in Against Archestratides. There was a magistrate in charge of the theoric fund, as Aischines illustrates in Against Ktesiphon. Moreover, not only are the spectators called theoroi, but they also used to so name those sent to gods and in general those who keep the sacred things or see to the sacred things. For they used to call phrontis (care)'ore' (care). For there is little care for quarrels and assemblies.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th20
§ Th20 Theoris: Demosthenes in Against Aristogeiton, if it is genuine. Theoris was a seer and she was killed, having been convicted of impiety, as also Philochoros writes in book six.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th21
§ Th21 Themakeus: Andokides in On the Mysteries. Themakos is a deme of the tribe Erectheis, as Diodoros the periegete says in On the Demes.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th22
§ Th22 Theramenes: Lysias in Against Eratosthenes. (One) who was killed when Kritias accused him under the Thirty.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th23
§ Th23 Theseion: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. It is a precinct dedicated to Theseus.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th24
§ Th24 Thetes kai thetikon (thetes and thetic class): Antiphon in Against Philinos says “and make all of the thetes hoplites” and Demosthenes in On Hagnios' Estate (says), “of the epikleroi who belong to the thetic class.” The polity at Athens having been divided into four, the poorest used to be called'thetes' and (were said) to belong to the thetic class. These people had a share of no office, as also Aristotle shows in the Constitution of the Athenians. And that they did not serve in the army also Aristophanes has said, in Daitaleis. Demosthenes in the aforesaid called the poor girl an epikleros, which the Attic (writers) call a'thessa.' It was necessary for the nearest male family members either to take the thessai in marriage or else give them five minas, as also Poseidippos the comic poet says somewhere.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th25
§ Th25 Thiasos: Demosthenes in Against Aischines. A thiasos is a crowd gathered for the worship and honor of gods: Xenophon in Memorabilia book 2. Ion however in Omphale applied the word commonly to any gathering. The participants in thiasoi were called thiasotai: Isaeus in On the Estate of Astyphilos.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th26
§ Th26 Thibron: Isokrates in the Panegyrikos. He was a Lacedaimonian sent to Asia as a harmost after the Peloponnesian war.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th27
§ Th27 Tholos: Demosthenes in his Against Aeschines. The place where the prytaneis used to dine was so called among the Athenians. Ammonios at any rate in book four of On Altars writes this: “And the place where the prytaneis feast is called'tholos,' but it is called'skias' (parasol) by some, because it was so built in a round shape, resembling a conical hat (tholia).”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th28
§ Th28 Thorai: A deme of the tribe Antiochis, as Diodoros says.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th29
§ Th29 Thorikos: Isaios in Against Posidippos. It is a deme of the tribe Akamantis, as the same Diodoros says in On the Demes.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th30
§ Th30 Thripedeston (worm-eaten): Hypereides in Against Demades said that Greece was worm-eaten, for'ruined', after wood that has been devoured by worms.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th31
§ Th31 Thronion: Aeschines in On the False Embassy. Thronion is a city of Lokris, as Theopompos in...
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th32
§ Th32 Thymaitadai: A deme of the tribe Hippothontis, named after the hero Thymaites, as Diodoros says.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th33
§ Th33 Thyrgonidai: Isaios in Against Nikokles. Nikandros the Thyateiran, in On the Demes, says, “ Aphidnaians, Perrhidai, Titakidai, and Thyrgonidai, were transferred from the tribe Aiantis.” Also Demetrios of Skepsis says in book two of the Catalogue that the deme belonged to the tribe Ptolemais.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:Th34
§ Th34 Thystion: Aischines, Against Ktesiphon. It is a city in Aitolia, as Didymos says, adducing evidence from the first book of Nikandros' Aitolika. We, however, found it in the Attic authors written with tau, Thytion.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i1
§ i1 Idian (private): for'personal,' Demosthenes in Against Konon. Also said were'idion' and'idiotikon', as the same orator (says) in Against Zenothemis.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i2
§ i2 Idrieus: Isokrates in To Philip. He was a dynast in Karia, son of Hekatomnos and brother of Mausolos and Artemisia.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i3
§ i3 Hierax: Demosthenes in the first of the Philippics. That Hierax was one of those sent as ambassadors by the Amphipolitans to Athens, when they wanted to hand over their city and territory to the Athenians, Theopompos has said in book three of the Philippics.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i4
§ i4 Hiera hodos (sacred road): Isaios in the defense Against Diophanes. The sacred road is what the initiates process on from the city to Eleusis. Thus an entire book has been written by Polemon on the sacred road. Kratinos mentions it in Drapetides.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i5
§ i5 Hiera trieres (sacred trireme): Demosthenes in the fourth of the Philippics: “and he departed from the land with the sacred trireme.” He could mean the Paralos, as is possible to gather from the sixth book of Philochoros and of Androtion alike.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i6
§ i6 Hieromenia [sacred month]: Demosthenes, Against Timokrates. The festal days are called hieromeniai.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i7
§ i7 Hieromnemones: Demosthenes, For Ktesiphon. Those sent to the Amphiktyons' congress from each city of those participating in the congress are so called, as Theopompos makes clear in the 30th book.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i8
§ i8 Hierophantes [sacred-displayer]: Hypereides says somewhere, “I have (as wife) neither a daidouchos (torchbearer)'s daughter nor a hierophant's.” Deinarchos in the diadikasia of the Krokonidai says that he who revealed the sacred things, upon returning from war, was named'the first hierophant.' But concerning the clan (genos) of the Hierophantes Hellanikos has shown in book 2 of Atthis.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i9
§ i9 Hieronymos: Lysias in Against Hippotherses. Some, especially Ephoros in books 18 and 19, mention a Hieronymos who was a general of the Athenians. Hieronymos the Megalopolitan is another person, whom Demosthenes mentions in Against Aischines. That he was one of those who most sympathized with Macedon Theopompos has said in book fifty-one.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i10
§ i10 Ithyphalloi: Hypereides in Against Archestratos: “those who dance the ithyphalloi in the orchestra.” Certain poems used to be so called, which were sung at the phallus, as Lykeus says in the Letters. But Demosthenes in Against Konon applied it to a nickname given to certain people in jest. The erect penis used to be called properly'ithyphallos,' as Kratinos (says) in Archilochoi.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i11
§ i11 Ikarieus: Isaios in Against Elpagoras. It is a deme of the tribe Aigeis, as Diodoros says.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i12
§ i12 Hiketeria: a branch of olive that has been wound into a wreath is called a suppliant branch (hiketeria).
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i13
§ i13 Ionios: Lysias in the Olympiakos. The ancients sometimes used to call the so-called Adriatic thus. “ Epidamnos is a city on the right as one sails into the Ionian gulf:” Thucydides book one.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i14
§ i14 Ipnos (oven): Lykourgos in Against Lykophron 1. A part of the house is so called, what is called by us a'kitchen.' There is at any rate a play by Pherekrates, the Ipnos or Pannychis, in which this is shown, namely that it is a part of the house. And the furnace is properly called an'ipnos,' whence they call some people oven-makers.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i15
§ i15 Hipparchos: Demosthenes in For Ktesiphon. This man was a tyrant of Eretria. But there is another Hipparchos, about whom Lykourgos speaks in Against Leokrates, Hipparchos son of Peisistratos. And there is another, Hipparchos son of Charmos, as Lykourgos says in Against Leokrates. And concerning this one, Androtion in the second book says that he was a kinsman of Peisistratos the tyrant and that he was the first to be ostracized when the law on ostracism was then first laid down, owing to suspicion of those associated with Peisistratos, because he was a tyrant while being a demagogue and general. And there is another Hipparchos, an actor, whom Demosthenes mentions in Against Neaira, if it is genuine. And among Athenians the magistrate in charge of the cavalry is also called a hipparch; these were two, as Demosthenes says in the fourth of the Philippics, as does Aristotle in the Constitution of the Athenians.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i16
§ i16 Hippas (cavalry): Isaios in On the Estate of Apollodoros says “he declared a small valuation (of taxable property) on grounds that he paid the cavalry tax.” Aristotle in the Constitution of the Athenians says that Solon divided the whole populace of Athenians into four classes, Five-Hundred-Medimnos-Men ( pentakosiomedimnoi ) and Cavalrymen (hippeis) and Yoke-Team-Men (zeugitai) and Laborers (thetes). The cavalry(-taxes) thus belong to the Cavalrymen.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i17
§ i17 Hippia Athena: Isaios in Against Kalydon. Mnaseas in book one of Europa says that Hippia Athena is the daughter of Poseidon and Koryphe, daughter of Ocean, and that, since she was the first to outfit a chariot, she was therefore called'Hippia.'
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i18
§ i18 Hippodameia: Demosthenes in Against Timotheus says that an agora in Peiraieus is called Hippodameia after Hippodamos of Miletos, the architect who built Peiraieus for the Athenians.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i19
§ i19 Isa bainon Pythoklei (walking in step with Pythokles ): Demosthenes in Against Aischines, for'always accompanying and keeping back not even a bit.' Also in Against Stephanos 1 he says, “With Aristolochos the banker he used to walk, walking in step.” Menander: “an expensive prostitute, walking in step alongside him.”
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i20
§ i20 Isai psephoi: Aischines, Against Ktesiphon: “another private individual, after having sailed to Rhodes, because he bore his fear like a coward, was just recently impeached, and the votes against him were even. If one (more) vote had slipped in he would have been banished beyond the borders and would have died.”.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i21
§ i21 Isaios: This man is one of the 10 orators, a student of Isokrates, and a teacher of Demosthenes, Athenian by descent, as Hermippos says in book two of On the Students of Isokrates. Demetrios in On the Homonymous Poets says that he was Chalkidean.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i22
§ i22 Ismenias: Lysias in Against Thrasyboulos, if it is genuine. He was one of those among the Thebans, a distinguished polemarch.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i23
§ i23 Isodaites: Hypereides in For Phryne. A foreign deity to whom common women and not very good ones used to celebrate rites.
urn:cts:greekLit:tlg1389.tlg001:i24
§ i24 Isoteles (possessing equal tax status and equal tax status): Isaios in Against Elpagoras many times. An honor given to those of the metics who seem worthy, according to which they enjoyed release from the metic tax, as Lysias (shows) in Against Sostratos for hybris, if it is genuine. That individuals possessing equal tax status used to have release also from the other things that metics did Theophrastos has said in book eleven of the Laws. He says that in some cases Athenians used to decree equal tax status for entire cities, for example, for the Olynthians and Thebans.

§ i27 Ion: Isokrates in On the Antidosis. The orator could be mentioning here Ion the poet of the tragedy, who was Chian by descent, the son of Orthomenes, but “of Xouthos” by nickname.

They record the following words in it: “This is the beginning of my account. Everything is three and there is no more and no less. The excellence of each one is a triad of these three things, intelligence and power and fortune.”.
