As for the exordia of the forensic speech, it
must be noted that they produce the same effect as dramatic prologues and epic
exordia （for those of dithyrambs resemble epideictic exordia:
“For thee and thy presents or spoils）.1”
1 A parenthetical remark to the effect that epideictic exordia are different. Those of a forensic speech are like prologues and epic exordia, but it is different with epideictic, which may be wild, high-flown, as in the example given from an unknown author.
