Madvig's text.

Thucydides, i. 18.

Homer, "Iliad," ix. 323, 324. Quoted also in "On Love to One's Offspring," § ii.

The remark about Demosthenes has somehow slipped out, as Wyttenbach has suggested.

Does this refer to Πηληίαδεω before Ἀχιλῆος in "Iliad," i. 1?

An allusion to some passage in a Play that has not come down to us.

Compare our Author, De Audiendis Poetis, § xi. ὥσπερ ὁ Ἀγησίλαοσ οὐκ ὑπέμεινεν ὑπὸ τοῦ καλοῦ φιληθῆναι προσιόντος.

Reading with Madvig and Hercher, τὸ γὰρ αὺτὸν, sq.

Literally cork-like, so vain, empty. So Horace, "levior cortice," "Odes," iii. 9, 22.

Marks of a philosopher among the ancients. Compare our Author, "How one may discern a flatterer from a friend," § vii.
