III., § 15). Philip, availing himself of the opportunity afforded by the delays in negotiating the peace,... had taken possession of them. Many of these places, at least, were not so unknown or unimpor- tant as is pretended by iEschines. Demosthenes frequently alludes to the taking of these places by Philip, in his extant orations delivered about this time. (See F. L., § 156; De Cherson., § 64; Philip. 111., § 15.) It is worth observing, however, that in neither place are all the names found which are here given by iEschines, who evidently, in rid- icule, throws together a number of obscure names, as a sort of jumble.
