ὍΤΙ διαμαρτάνει Δημοσθένης ἐν τῷ κατὰ Νεαίρας λέγων Πλαταιέας γεγράφθαι ἐν τῇ Ποικίλῃ στοᾷ· οὐδεὶς γὰρ τοῦτο εἴρηκεν, ὥσπερ οὐδὲ Κρατερὸς ἐν τῇ τῶν ψηφισμάτων συναγωγῇ. Ὁ ΚΑΤΩΘΕΝ ΝΟΜΟΣ· Δημοσθένης ἐν τῷ κατ’ Ἀριστοκράτους. Δίδυμος ἤτοι φησὶ τὴν ἡλιαίαν λέγει ὁ ῥήτωρ διὰ τὸ τῶν δικαστηρίων τὰ μὲν ἄνω, τὰ δὲ κάτω ὀνομάζεσθαι, ἢ διὰ τὸ σχῆμα τῆς ἐν τοῖς ἄξοσι γραφῆς βουστροφηδὸν γεγραμμένης τὸν ἀπὸ τῶν εὐωνύμων ἀρχόμενον νόμον κάτωθεν ὀνομάζει ὁ Δημοσθένης· ὅτι γάρ φησι βουστροφηδὸν ἦσαν οἱ ἄξονες καὶ οἱ κύρβεις γεγραμμένοι δεδήλωκεν Εὐφορίων ἐν τῷ Ἀπολλοδώρῳ. ἢ ἐπεί φησι τοὺς ἄξονας καὶ τοὺς κύρβεις ἄνωθεν ἐκ τῆς ἀκροπόλεως εἰς τὸ βουλευτήριον καὶ τὴν ἀγορὰν μετέστησεν Ἐφιάλτης, ὥς φησιν Ἀναξιμένης ἐν Φιλιππικοῖς.
