   The speaker cites his own formal written challenge as authoritative proof that he offered a fair evidentiary test, which Stephanus's refusal is then argued to have effectively conceded.

   Apollodorus tendered this challenge to Stephanus in connection with the indictment which he preferred against Neaera, charging that she, being an alien, is living as wife with him, a citizen.

   The speaker cites Hippocrates's decree granting the Plataeans citizenship as an authoritative model of careful, deserved legislation, contrasting its safeguards with the lawlessness of Stephanus and Neaera's case.

   On motion of Hippocrates it is decreed that the Plataeans shall be Athenians from this day, and shall have full rights as citizens, and that they shall share in all the privileges in which the Athenians share, both civil and religious, save any priesthood or religious office which belongs to a particular family, and that they shall not be eligible to the office of the nine archons but their descendants shall be.

   ch. 1 3 passages anchored here

   The speaker cites Pausanias's self-glorifying inscription only to reject it, noting it was judged false and arrogant by the Greeks and forcibly erased by order of the Amphictyons.

   Pausanias, the king of the Lacedaemonians, puffed up by this, inscribed a distich upon the tripod at Delphi, which the Greeks who had jointly fought in the battle at Plataea and in the sea-fight at Salamis had made in common from the spoils taken from the barbarians, and had set up in honor of Apollo as a memorial of their valor.

Each stands at a single passage. The chapter carries the anchors.
