1. ὡς ἦλθεν ἡ βουλὴ, i.e. when, after the adjournment of the Senate, the senators entered the Assembly.
2. ἀπήγγειλαν οἱ πρυτάνεις: the fifty Prytanes were still the chief men in both Senate and Assembly, though at this time (certainly since 377 B.C.) the duty of presiding in both bodies was given to nine πρόεδροι, who were chosen by lot each day from the senators of the other nine tribes by the ἐπιστάτης of the Prytanes (Arist. Pol. Ath. 44.7-9). The πρόεδροι had an ἐπιστάτης of their own, called ὁ ἐπιστάτης τῶν προέδρων (Aesch. III. 39). This is the office held by Demosthenes in the last meeting of the Assembly before the departure of the second embassy in 346: see Aesch. III. 74.
3. τὸν ἥκοντα, the messenger who had brought the news about Elatea: cf. § 28.5.
4. τίς ἀγορεύειν βούλεται; the regular formula for opening a debate: cf. § 191.2. Aeschines (III. 2 and 4) laments the omission of the additional words, τῶν ὑπὲρ πεντήκοντα ἔτη γεγονότων καὶ πάλιν ἐν μέρει τῶν ἄλλων Ἀθηναίων, the Solonic form.
9. τὸν ἐροῦνθ̓=ὃς ἐρεῖ, the man to speak (M.T. 565): cf. § 285.3.
