Greece -- History -- To 146 B.C.; History, Ancient
62 [ {kat allon kai allon}: the MSS. have {kat allon}, but Valla's
rendering is "alium atque alium."]
63 [ {uper megalon aiorethenta}.]
64 [ i.e. 300,000.]
65 [ {os ek kakon}: some translate, "thinking that he had escaped from
his troubles."]
66 [ {toisi epikletoisi}, cp. vii. 8 and ix. 42.]
67 [ i.e. Asia, as opposed to "these parts."]
68 [ Stein would take {peri oikon ton son} with {oudemia sumphore}, but
the order of words is against this.]
69 [ {pollous pollakis agonas drameontai peri spheon auton}.]
70 [ See i. 175: The manner of the repetition and some points in the
diction raise suspicion that the passage is interpolated here; and so
it is held to be by most Editors. In i. 175 we find {tris} instead of
{dis}.]
71 [ {upegagon}, cp. vi. 72, with the idea of bringing before a court
for punishment, not "by underhand means," as it is understood by Larcher
and Bähr.]
72 [ "vengeance and Hermotimos."]
73 [ {spheis... ergasaiato}: the MSS. read {sphi} (one {spheas}) and
{ergasaito}, and this is retained by some Editors.]
74 [ "taken."]
75 [ {metabalon}: others translate, "he turned from them to the
Athenians"; but cp. vii. 52: The words {pros tous Athenaious} are
resumed by {sphi} with {elege}.]
76 [ {kai epi spheon auton balomenoi}, "even at their own venture," cp.
iii. 71.]
77 [ {ta idia}, "things belonging to private persons."]
78 [ {sophos}.]
79 [ {geopeinas}, "poor in land."]
80 [ It seems necessary to insert {an} with {einai}. For the sentiment
cp. vii. 172.]
81 [ {khreomenos toisi kai pros basilea ekhresato}. This is the reading
of the best MSS.: the rest have {khreomenos logoisi toisi kai pros
Andrious ekhresato}, "using the same language as he had before used to
the Andrians."]
82 [ {kai ten allen ippon}: some MSS. omit {allen}.]
83 [ {ola}, i.e. not the whole number of them, but great masses without
individual selection.]
84 [ {ouden meros os eipein}.]
85 [ {anemon Strumonien}, "the wind called Strymonias."]
86 [ {ta akrothinia}, i.e. the tithe.]
87 [ i.e. the corner of the entrance-hall, {epi tou proneiou tes
gonies}, i. 51.]
88 [ {dienemon}: some understand this to mean "distributed the
voting tablets," and some MSS. read {dienemonto}, "distributed among
themselves," which is adopted by many Editors.]
89 [ {sophotatos}.]
90 [ See i. 67.]
91 [ A small island near Attica, taken here as the type of
insignificance. To suppose that Timodemos was connected with it is quite
unnecessary. The story in Plutarch about the Seriphian is different.]
92 [ i.e. 60,000.]
93 [ {katesphaxe}, "cut their throats."]
94 [ {para tas gluphidas}: some Editors read {peri tas gluphidas} on the
authority of Æneas Tacticus. The {gluphides} are probably notches which
give a hold for the fingers as they draw back the string.]
95 [ {kataplexai}, "strike down" by the charge.]
96 [ The way was shut against them ordinarily by the town of Potidaia,
which occupied the isthmus.]
