καὶ πρὸς ἕτερον The man stained with murder (ἐναγής) might speak to no one (Aesch. Eum. 426, ἄφθογγον εἶναι τὸν παλαμναῖον νόμος): and for the relatives of the slain it was not ὅσιον to accost him (Isae. or. IX. § 20: cp. Soph. O. T. 238). By a rhetorical exaggeration, Lysias says that he would think it impious to speak even about Eratosthenes, ἐπ᾽ ὠφελείᾳ, for E.'s advantage.
