opinion. There was a Nicomachus, a ypaμμaтeus against whom Lysias spoke an oration, who had drawn up certain laws.

1511. σricas] Like slaves.

1513. AEUKOλópov] Adeimantus, son of Leucolophides, was an Athenian general of oligarchical views: he was at Aegospotami, and was spared by his Lacedemonian captors because he had favoured their Spartan interests. He is called son of Leucolophus,' either for conve nience of metre, or with some allusion the force of which is lost. Paley suggests a 'charge of cowardice;' but does 'the white feather' in Greek convey any such imputation?

1515. où de K.T..] The poet in return gives Pluto a commission about his seat: Sophocles is to occupy it: Euripides is excluded.

1523. und akwv] Of course it was not likely that Euripides would decline any honour, but even if he did, the throne would be disgraced (Aeschylus means) by his merely sitting on it. Kock quotes from Aeschines 2, 153 ἄνθρωπος γόης καὶ πονηρός, ὃς οὐδ ̓ ἂν ἄκων ἄληθες οὐδὲν εἴποι.

eyxa@edeirai] The contracted Attic future is common in verbs ending in -Sw. In those in -iw the final consonant of the stem is dropped as κομιῶ οῦμαι from κομιδ.. In ἕζομαι the stem is ἕδ, compare Lat. sedes etc.

1526. TOUTOU] Aeschylus is to be escorted to the music of his own lyrics. The Scholiasts tell us that the final hexameters are from the Glaucus Potnieus of Aeschylus. The line they quote is not very close to the text here. Some phrases may have been from other plays. The whole has rather an Aeschylean character. 'Grant him a prosperous journey, and grant him to devise good for our state.'

1531. Táyxν yàp K.T.λ] Thus we shall have rest: let Cleophon and his like fight, but not here; in Thrace, where he comes from. See above, 1. 679. Paley quotes a similar sentiment from Aesch. Eumen. 864. He also notices that the torch-procession off the stage resembles that in the Eumenides, 959. And Eum. 932, 1012 resemble 1. 1531.
