Greece -- History -- To 146 B.C.; History, Ancient
31 [ The number obtained by adding up the separate contingents is
366. Many Editors suppose that the ships with which the Eginetans
were guarding their own coast (ch. 46) are counted here, and quote the
authority of Pausanias for the statement that the Eginetans supplied
more ships than any others except the Athenians. Stein suggests the
insertion of the number twelve in ch. 46.]
3101 [ Or, "Thespeia."]
32 [ i.e. "Areopagus."]
33 [ i.e. the North side.]
34 [ {megaron}.]
35 [ {neos}.]
36 [ {pollos en en tois logois}: cp. ix. 91.]
37 [ See vii. 141-143.]
38 [ {autothen ik Salaminos}.]
39 [ {te Metri kai te Koure}, Demeter and Persephone.]
40 [ {te anakrisi}: cp. {anakrinomenous}, ix. 56: Some Editors,
following inferior MSS., read {te krisi}, "at the judgment expressed."]
41 [ {muriadon}, "ten thousands."]
42 [ Or, "Hermione."]
43 [ {oi perioikoi}: some Editors omit the article and translate "and
these are the so-called Orneates or dwellers round (Argos)," Orneates
being a name for the {perioikoi} of Argos, derived from the conquered
city of Orneai.]
44 [ {elpidi mainomene}, "with a mad hope."]
45 [ {krateron Koron Ubrios uion}.]
46 [ {dokeunt ana panta tithesthai}: the MSS. have also {pithesthai}.
Possibly {tithesthai} might stand, though {anatithesthai} is not found
elsewhere in this sense. Stein adopts in his last edition the conjecture
{piesthai}, "swallow up."]
47 [ {Kronides}.]
48 [ {potnia Nike}.]
49 [ i.e. about rivalry.]
50 [ {ton epibateon}.]
51 [ Many Editors reading {osa de} and {parainesas de}, make the stop
after {antitithemena}: "and in all that is produced in the nature and
constitution of man he exhorted them to choose the better."]
52 [ {o daimonioi}, "strange men."]
53 [ See ch. 22.]
54 [ {pros de eti kai proselabeto}: the MSS. have {prosebaleto}. Most
Editors translate, "Moreover Ariamnes... contributed to the fate of the
Phenicians, being a friend (of the Ionians);" but this does not seem
possible unless we read {philos eon Iosi} (or {Ionon}). Valla translates
nearly as I have done. (It does not appear that {prosballesthai} is
found elsewhere in the sense of {sumballesthai}.)]
55 [ i.e. they who were commanded to execute them.]
56 [ See vii. 179, 181.]
57 [ See vi. 49, etc., and 73.]
58 [ {keleta}.]
59 [ {sumballontai}: the Athenians apparently are spoken of, for they
alone believed the story.]
60 [ {apoplesai}: this is the reading of the MSS.; but many Editors
adopt corrections ({apoplesthai} or {apoplesthenai}). The subject to
{apoplesai} is to be found in the preceding sentence and the connexion
with {ton te allon panta k.t.l.} is a loose one. This in fact is added
as an afterthought, the idea being originally to call attention simply
to the fulfilment of the oracle of Lysistratos.]
61 [ {phruxousi}: a conjectural emendation, adopted by most Editors, of
{phrixousi}, "will shudder (at the sight of oars)."]
