Abstract
Cf. Aeschines Ctes. 148, S0009838800019248_inline1 ‘ mirrored,’ says Prof. R. B. Richardson ad loc, ‘ in Plut. Dem. 20, S0009838800019248_inline2’ Philostratus Vit. Apoll. v 24, S0009838800019248_inline3, where the context shews the meaning to be ‘ a small part of a day,’ not ‘a little day,’ Lucian Hermotimus 54, S0009838800019248_inline4 S0009838800019248_inline5 where again the meaning is decisively ‘part of a day.’ The Aeschines passage is not quite so clear, but certainly is naturally taken in the same way
