S. restores ar)0q, which he defends in Philologus (ss. 346, 347). He makes a distinction, which we give in the original German : " tovt dXrjBfj eo-rt'v heisst, diess ist in wahrheit so ; dXrjdes iartv, es ist ein wahres, die wahrheit." He has not adduced any analogous passages for an expression which seems not to be Greek ; the Platonic phrase tovto dXijdij Xcyety, which he does cite, is plainly inapplicable, for dXrjdq eycis = aAq&weiy, and dXrjdfj has no syntactic connection with TOVTO.

But the MS. reading appears to be merely a con- fusion of the two words, Tt6d<p6at and ratyvai, and S. is probably right in adopting Taqbfjpat. Col. 31, 1. 15. (avT&. Cobet, aavra.

Retain avrol. The orator seems to insinuate that Polyeuctus* own hands were not clean of dealings with Mace- donia. This appears to be Schneidewin's meaning also. (Philol. s. 349). Col. 34, 1. 14.

It is highly probable, though not certain, that Hyperides would have written Moorria. At all events usage is very arbitrary, especially in the case of proper names. (See Hemsterhuis on Lucian, Jud. Voc. p. 312). In the Oration c. Alcibiadem, attributed to Ando- cides, (ad fin.), the form MoXoa-a-la occurs ; but the value of this testimony for our purpose, whether the oration be genuine or not, is derived from the fact that GerraXta is found in the same
