51 [ Or, according to some MSS., "the Persian land."] 52 [ Lit. "the name of which happens to be Agora."] 53 [ i.e. 1,700,000.] 54 [ {sunnaxantes}: a conjectural emendation very generally adopted of {sunaxantes} or {sunapsantes}.] 55 [ {apageas}, i.e. not stiffly standing up; the opposite to {pepeguias} (ch. 64).] 56 [ {lepidos siderees opsin ikhthueideos}: many Editors suppose that some words have dropped out. The {kithon} spoken of may have been a coat of armour, but elsewhere the body armour {thorex} is clearly distinguished from the {kithon}, see ix. 22.] 57 [ {gerra}: cp. ix. 61 and 102.] 58 [ Cp. i. 7.] 59 [ {mitrephoroi esan}: the {mitre} was perhaps a kind of turban.] 60 [ {tesi Aiguptiesi}, apparently {makhairesi} is meant to be supplied: cp. ch. 91.] 61 [ {eklethesan}, "were called" from the first.] 62 [ These words are by some Editors thought to be an interpolation. The Chaldeans in fact had become a caste of priests, cp. i. 181.] 63 [ {kurbasias}: supposed to be the same as the tiara (cp. v. 49), but in this case stiff and upright.] 64 [ i.e. Areians, cp. iii. 93.] 65 [ {sisurnas}: cp. iv. 109.] 66 [ {akinakas}.] 67 [ {sisurnophoroi}.] 68 [ {zeiras}.] 69 [ {toxa palintona}.] 70 [ {spathes}, which perhaps means the stem of the leaf.] 71 [ {gupso}, "white chalk."] 72 [ {milto}, "red ochre."] 73 [ Some words have apparently been lost containing the name of the nation to which the following description applies. It is suggested that this might be either the Chalybians or the Pisidians.] 74 [ {lukioergeas}, an emendation from Athenæus of {lukoergeas} (or {lukergeas}), which might perhaps mean "for wolf-hunting."] 75 [ {anastpastous}: cp. iii. 93.] 76 [ Some Editors place this clause before the words: "and Smerdomenes the son of Otanes," for we do not hear of Otanes or Smerdomenes elsewhere as brother and nephew of Dareios. On the other hand Mardonios was son of the sister of Dareios.] 77 [ {tukhe}, "hits."] 78 [ {keletas}, "single horses."] 79 [ This name is apparently placed here wrongly. It has been proposed to read {Kaspeiroi} or {Paktues}.] 80 [ {ippeue}: the greater number of MSS. have {ippeuei} here as at the beginning of ch. 84, to which this is a reference back, but with a difference of meaning. There the author seemed to begin with the intention of giving a full list of the cavalry force of the Persian Empire, and then confined his account to those actually present on this occasion, whereas here the word in combination with {mouna} refers only to those just enumerated.] 81 [ i.e. 80,000.] 82 [ {Suroisi}, see note on ii. 104.] 83 [ {tukous}, which appears to mean ordinarily a tool for stone-cutting.] 84 [ {mitresi}, perhaps "turbans."] 85 [ {kithonas}: there is some probability in the suggestion of {kitarias} here, for we should expect mention of a head-covering, and the word {kitaris} (which is explained to mean the same as {tiara}), is quoted by Pollux as occurring in Herodotus.]
