1 The text has . ἰσηγορίας can hardly be right, though Volkmann suggests a forced sense. have been proposed. But there is no reason why the scribe should have stumbled over any of these, and he generally goes wrong upon less familiar words. I would venture to suggest εὑρεσιλογίας as possible. It is a rare word, used half a dozen times by Plutarch, once (682 B) in the plural, and in the sense required here, see Wyttenbach's note on 31 E. From the variations in the spelling of the word it seems to have given trouble.
