Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speech Against Meidias: With Introduction and Notes; Part I. Introduction and Text; Part II. Notes
The text of the present Oration has been revised by Mr. S. H. Butcher, Professor of Greek in the University of Edinburgh, as a part of the complete text of Demosthenes which he is preparing for the Clarendon Press. It rests mainly on the authority of S, the earliest and best ms. Of Demosthenes, now in the National Library at Paris, and is more conservative than the recent text of Blass in the Teubner Series, especially in rejecting emendations which rest solely upon theories respecting laws of rhythm or euphony in Demosthenes, or upon quotations in late Greek writers. The appara/zzs (ff/{arr subjoined to the notes is also the work of Professor Butcher.
