-- 318. _your brother_. See Speech on the Emba.s.sy, ---- 237, 249. It is not known which brother is here referred to.

-- 319. Philammon was a recent Olympic victor in the boxing match; Glaucus, a celebrated boxer early in the fifth century.

-- 320. _owner of a stud_. To keep horses was a sign of great wealth in Athens.
