Translation
Some think that this adverb is applied to time. But the orators all use it to denote place;1 like Aeschines in the [speech] Against Timarchus: "to present also that the defendant will be filled with courage, when he comes hither."2 Also Antiphon in the Prosecution for Illegal Proposals: " and to tell the sea-fighters to bring [it] down hither, as if for bounties".3 Also Dinarchus in the [speech] Against Leochares: "I am now going to talk to you about poor Didymus. And call for me the child hither".4 Also Demosthenes: "so stand up hither and answer me".5 Also many others.
