a. νεῖκος δὲ κρεισσόνων: τῶν κρεισσόνων τὸ νεῖκος οὐ ῥᾴδιόν ἐστιν ἀποθέσθαι· ἐπὶ γὰρ τοῖς κρείσσοσι κεῖται τὸ ὅταν θέλωσι πολεμεῖν. καὶ Ὅμηρος (Α 80)· κρείσσων γὰρ βασιλεὺς ὅτε χώσεται ἀνδρὶ χέρηι. b. νεῖκος δὲ κρεσσόνων: παραφράζει τὸ Ὁμηρικόν (Α 80)· κρείσσων γὰρ βασιλεὺς ὅτε χώσεται ἀνδρὶ χέρηι. c. ὅ ἐστι· τὸ τῶν κρεισσόνων νεῖκος οὐ ῥᾴδιον ἀποθέσθαι· ἐπὶ γὰρ τοῖς κρείττοσι κεῖται τὸ ὅτε θέλουσι πολεμεῖν. d. ἄλλως· ἀδύνατον γάρ ἐστι τῷ ἥττονι τὸ τῶν ὑπερεχόντων κράτος ἐκκλῖναι.
