ὡς δ᾽ ἔπεισε, καὶ ἔδρασε. Cf. c. 1 (fin.), c. 8 (fin.). ἐς . . . κατέστη Cf. c. 70, § 1, καθιστάμενοι ἐς τὴν ἀρχήν; c. 28, § 5, ἐς τὴν Μίλητον Φίλιππον καθιστᾶσιν. ‘In all other positions of responsibility into which he was brought.’ The double οὐκ goes thus, οὐ — μᾶλλον, and οὐκ ἐς τοῦτο μόνον: ‘and quite as much in after times as on the present occasion did Phrynichus win credit for the possession of good sense,—I do not mean only as regards this matter, but in regard to all other responsible positions into which he was brought.’ The first ἐς = ‘in regard to,’ while the second has this force and also another with κατέστη, and = ἐς τοσαῦτα ἄλλα ἐς ὅσα κατέστη. For the fact cf. c. 68, § 3.
