Scholia on Demosthenes: Against Aphobus (Pros Aphobon) by Demosthenes Scholia

Beside the words 'I shall begin from here' in the third speech Against Aphobus, Demosthenes' defence of his witness Phanus, a reader notes that the Theologian, Gregory of Nazianzus, uses the same phrase. The only other note explains that a witness could be compelled to swear disclaimer even over matters they did not know.

ΠΡΟΣ ΑΦΟΒΟΝ

ἄρξομαι σημείωσαι, περὶ τοῦ θεολόγου.

ἐξομνύειν ὁ γὰρ μάρτυς ἀναγκάζεται καὶ περὶ τῶν οὐκ εἰδότων ἐξόμνυσθαι.
