Translation: Demosthenes in [the]
Philippics [writes]: "and after this it was resolved to send on board the metics and those living apart from their masters".[1] Not but what it would be clear even without the addition[2] what this information is, that freedmen lived by themselves, separately from those who had freed [them], but lived with them while they were still slaves.

The headword phrase, from the primary source, is in the accusative plural.

Demosthenes 4.36 (web address 1).
[2] Of the phrase "from their masters". The addition appears, in fact, is regarded by modern editors as an instrive gloss on the original text (the headword-phrase). Without it, the identity of "those living apart" is a controversial matter, despite Harpokration's certainty here. Perhaps freedmen; perhaps a superior type of slave. For a recent discussion (and a new hypothesis: that they are not part of
Athens' internal social structure at all, but mercenaries) see Sosin 2015.
