[334] For ἄλλα Bekk. conj. “ἅσσα”, ingeniously, and certainly to the advantage of logical clearness. But the text is defensible; πολλά is so much the uppermost idea in the speaker's mind that he naturally passes to his next theme, what is given to the rest, as though he had not just mentioned it; in fact he has introduced παῦρα in 333 merely as a foil to the “πολλά”, and not for its own sake. There does not seem to be any particular distinction between ἀριστῆες and βασιλῆες.
