_Demosthenes and New Testament_ (Vol. iii., p. 350.).--If your
correspondent C. H. P. had referred to the _Critici Sacri_, he would
have found his questions answered. With regard to the quotation from
Acts xvii. 21., I beg to inform him that Drusius makes the same
reference, but generally only, as Pricæus; while Grotius gives the
passages with particular references, in the same manner as Lagnerius. As
to the passage from St. Matthew xiii. 14., he would have found, had he
consulted the _Critici Sacri_, that Grotius quotes the same passage from
Demosthenes as Pricæus; but, as far as I can see, they are the only
commentators in that work who observed the parallel passages. However,
the fact of its being "employed as an established proverb by Demosthenes
having been generally overlooked," as C. H. P. supposes, is not quite
correct, as it is mentioned in the brief notes in Dr. Burton's _Greek
Testament_, Oxon., 1831.
