Notes: (i) Use the first four weeks to drum home the lessons of reading and translating with an eye firmly on what each word is doing and why: draw out the changing forms of nouns and verbs and impress on students the differing functions of each; (ii) the big weeks here are 5-9, where tenses (especially strong and weak aorists) and participles come on stream; (iii) set reading targets in class, and if the class cannot reach them, help them along: translate it yourself, encour¬age a class shout-out to do it together, and so on. The world will not fall in if you skate over some passages.There is, after all, plenty of reading to keep you going, and it is essential to get the balance between translating the text in class and ensuring the gramar is firmly drilled in.

Examination Papers
Here are three comprehensive examinations set for candidates who have used RG and its associated volumes. Papers A and B were set for university students after using RG for one year, three to four hours a week for c. twenty-two weeks. Paper C was a public examination (no longer available) set for Year 11-12 students (16-18) who had studied Greek for two years, using RG in year 1 and studying the set texts (the ‘target’ passages from WoH Herodotus and Sophocles selections) in year 2.
Note: The numbers in brackets (where given) refer to the marks allotted to each part of the paper.
Discussion
All the papers, in their different ways, attempt to cater for a wide range of abilities, and demand a grasp of the language with an understanding of the culture which produced it.
All the papers offer liberal help with vocabulary for the unseens (sight pas¬sages); and Paper C offers it with the set texts as well (an important concession when the set texts are as sophisticated as these are; when the students’ time must be limited, since Greek will only be a minority subject for them in the sixth form; and when we want to discourage memorization of the translation, and encourage mature appraisal of the text).
Both Papers A and C have experimented very successfully with an unseen in which the passages to be translated are intercut with passages translated already. This gives a much larger context, and duplicates more faithfully the conditions of class-work (where one’s classmates translate sections as well: one does not do it all oneself).
Paper A attempts to offer something for the linguistically weak and strong: Ai (set text) gives the lifeline to the weak (120/200 for knowing what the Neaira is all about, and fairly mild grammatical questions + short unseen); A2 gives the linguistically strong the chance to show what they can do (80/200).

E. UNSEEN TRANSLATION
Translate the passages between the double lines into English:
The orator Hyperides is defending Euxenippos on an impeachment. Hyperides begins by remembering how serious such charges used to be and comparing them with the current absurd charges which are brought under that heading. He goes on to wonder what crimes should truly merit an impeachment.

Personally, gentlemen of the jury, as I was just saying to those seated beside me, I am surprised that you are not tired by now of this kind of impeachment. At one time the men impeached before you were Timomachos, Leosthenes, Cal- listratos, Philon of Anaea, Theotimos who lost Sestos, and others of the same type. Some were accused of betraying ships, others of giving up Athenian cities, and another, an orator, of speak¬ing against the people’s interests. Though there were five of them, not one waited to be tried; they left the city of their own accord and went into exile. The same is true of many others who were impeached. In fact it was a rare thing to see anyone subjected to impeachment appearing in court. So serious and so notorious were the crimes which at that time led to an impeachment.

And a point, I think, which should be dwelt on as much as any, is how to ensure that the laws in a democracy are binding and that impeach¬ments and other actions brought into court are legally valid. It was with this in view that you made separate laws covering individually all offences committed in the city. Suppose some¬one commits a religious offence. There is the method of public prosecution before the king- archon. Or he maltreats his parents. The archon presides over his case. Someone makes illegal proposals in the city. There is the board of Thesmothetae ready. Perhaps he does some¬thing involving summary arrest. You have the authority of the Eleven. Similarly, to deal with every other offence you have established laws, offices, and courts appropriate to each.
