Show notes

ὃ δὲ πράττει ἀγνοήσειεν ἄν τις, οἷον †λέγοντές φασιν ἐκπεσεῖν αὐτούς,† A crux is marked here by Bywater (OCT), but not Radt. ἢ οὐκ εἰδέναι ὅτι ἀπόρρητα ἦν, ὥσπερ Αἰσχύλος τὰ μυστικά…

But someone could be unaware of what he was doing, like †those who say that something slipped out while they were speaking,† or that they did not know that what they were saying was secret, like Aeschylus and the mysteries.
