5 [ {aphanizoiato}, representing the present tense {aphanizontai} in the oracle.] 6 [ {ton thronon touton}: most MSS. have {ton thronon, touto}.] 7 [ {epistasthe kou pantes}: the MSS. have {ta epistasthe kou pantes}, which is given by most Editors. In that case {oia erxan} would be an exclamation, "What evils they did to us,... things which ye all know well, I think."] 8 [ {touton mentoi eineka}: it is hardly possible here to give {mentoi} its usual meaning: Stein in his latest edition reads {touton men toinun}.] 9 [ {suneneike}: Stein reads {suneneike se}, "supposing that thou art worsted."] 10 [ {ep andri ge eni}, as opposed to a god.] 11 [ {akousesthai tina psemi ton k.t.l.}, "each one of those who are left behind."] 12 [ {kai Kurou}, a conjectural emendation of {tou Kurou}. The text of the MSS. enumerates all these as one continuous line of ascent. It is clear however that the enumeration is in fact of two separate lines, which combine in Teïspes, the line of ascent through the father Dareios being, Dareios, Hystaspes, Arsames, Ariamnes, Teïspes, and through the mother, Atossa, Cyrus, Cambyses, Teïspes.] 13 [ {kai mala}: perhaps, "even."] 1301 [ Lit. "nor is he present who will excuse thee."] 14 [ Lit. "my youth boiled over."] 15 [ Lit. "words more unseemly than was right."] 16 [ {all oude tauta esti o pai theia}.] 17 [ {peplanesthai}.] 18 [ {autai}: a correction of {autai}.] 19 [ {se de epiphoitesei}: the better MSS. have {oude epiphoitesei}, which is adopted by Stein.] 20 [ {pempto de etei anomeno}.] 21 [ {ton Ionion}.] 22 [ {kai oud ei eperai pros tautesi prosgenomenai}: some MSS. read {oud eterai pros tautesi genomenai}, which is adopted (with variations) by some Editors. The meaning would be "not all these, nor others which happened in addition to these, were equal to this one."] 23 [ {ama strateuomenoisi}: {ama} is omitted in some MSS.] 24 [ {stadion}, and so throughout.] 25 [ {entos Sanes}: some MSS. read {ektos Sanes}, which is adopted by Stein, who translates "beyond Sane, but on this side of Mount Athos": this however will not suit the case of all the towns mentioned, e.g. Acrothoon, and {ton Athen} just below clearly means the whole peninsula.] 26 [ {leukolinou}.] 27 [ {ton de on pleiston}: if this reading is right, {siton} must be understood, and some MSS. read {allon} for {alla} in the sentence above. Stein in his latest edition reads {siton} instead of {pleiston}.] 28 [ Lit. "the name of which happens to be Catarractes."] 29 [ i.e. 4,000,000.] 30 [ The {stater dareikos} was of nearly pure gold (cp. iv. 166), weighing about 124 grains.] 3001 [ {stele}, i.e. a square block of stone.] 31 [ {athanato andri}, taken by some to mean one of the body of "Immortals."] 32 [ {akte pakhea}: some inferior MSS. read {akte trakhea}, and hence some Editors have {akte trekhea}, "a rugged foreland."] 33 [ {dolero}: some Editors read {tholero}, "turbid," by conjecture.]
