The quotation comes from the Athenian orator and politician
Demades (
delta 414,
delta 415), via [
Demetrius],
On elocution 285 Radermacher, but it has undergone change during the process of transmission. Above all, the original does not begin with the words 'he took over the' (
pare/labe th\n); and from a substantive point of view, if
Demades really did write them, to whom was he alluding? Also, after 'ancestors',
Demetrius has

th\n *Maraqwno/maxon (cf.
alpha 4343).
