Meaning encouragement. Isocrates in Advice [to Demonikos]
[writes]: "so we have not devised exhortations but written in the form of advice".1 Lycurgus uses [the word] to mean appeal, when he says: "I think you will do this even without an appeal from me".2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Παράκλησις· ἀντὶ τοῦ προτροπή. Ἰσοκράτης Παραινέσεσι· διόπερ ἡμεῖς οὐ παράκλησιν εὑρόντες, ἀλλὰ παραίνεσιν γράψαντες. Λυκοῦργος δὲ ἀντὶ τῆς δεήσεως ἐχρήσατο λέγων· ὑμᾶς οἶμαι τοῦτο ποιήσειν καὶ χωρὶς τῆς ἐμῆς παρακλήσεως.
