CRITOLAUS scripsit legatos Mileto publicae rei causa venisse Athenas, fortasse an auxilii petendi [p. 320] gratia. 1 Tum qui pro sese verba facerent quos visum erat advocavisse, aduocatos, uti erat mandatum, verba pro Milesiis ad populum fecisse, Demosthenen Milesiorum postulatis acriter respondisse, neque Milesios auxilio dignos neque ex republica id esse contendisse; rem in posterum diem prolatam. Legatos ad Demosthenen venisse magnoque opere orasse uti contra ne diceret; eum pecuniam petivisse et quantam petiverat abstulisse. Postridie, cum res agi denuo coepta esset, Demosthenen, lana multa collum cervicesque circumvolutum, ad populum prodisse et dixisse se synanchen pati, eo contra Milesios loqui non quire. Tum e populo unum exclamasse, non “synanchen,” quod Demosthenes pateretur, sed “argyranchen” esse.

1 fortasse an dixerit, MSS.; dixerit deleted by Scaliger, fortasse ... gratia, by Hertz.
