102 [ {tes Skuthikes ta epikarsia}, i.e. the lines running from West to East.]

103 [ {epanakhthentes}: so the Medicean MS. and another: the rest have {epanakhthentas}. Some Editors read by conjecture {apeneikhthentas}, "cast away on their coast".]

104 [ {neoisi}.]

105 [ {trieteridas}.]

106 [ Or, "were driven out".]

107 [ {phtheirotrageousi}.]

108 [ Or, "Aiorpata," and "aior" below.]

109 [ i.e. the Royal Scythians: see ch. 20.]

110 [ {epi touto}, the reading of the Aldine edition. The MSS. have {epi touto}. Stein suggests {dia touto}.]

111 [ {ou peisometha}: some MSS. read {ouk oisometha}. Editors have emended by conjecture in various ways, e.g. {ou periopsometha}, "we shall not allow it"; {oi epoisometha} or {oi epeisometha}, "we shall go out to attack him"; {aposometha}, "we shall repel him".]

112 [ {paras}, or {pasai}, belonging to {gunaikes}.]

113 [ {khersou}, "dry".]

114 [ Perhaps the same as the "Hyrgis" mentioned in ch. 57. Some Editors read "Hyrgis" in this pa.s.sage.]

115 [ See ch. 119.]

116 [ {klaiein lego}.]

117 [ {touto esti e apo Skutheon resis}: this refers to the last words, {klaiein lego}. Most Editors have doubts about the genuineness of the sentence, regarding it a marginal gloss which has crept into the text; but perhaps without sufficient reason.]

118 [ Or, "with some slight effect on the course of the war".]

119 [ See i. 216.]

120 [ {eremothentes tou omilou}.]

121 [ {iesan tes phones}.]

122 [ {e mia kai Sauromatai}: some Editors read {e meta Sauromateon}.

The MSS. give {e mia Sauromatai} (some {Sauromateon}). Stein inserts {kai}.]

123 [ {khairontes eleutheroi}.]

124 [ The list includes only those who voted in favour of the proposal of Histiaios (i.e. Miltiades is not included in it): hence perhaps Stein is right in suggesting some change in the text, e.g. {oi diapherontes te ten psephon basileos kai eontes logou pleistou}. The absence of the name of Coes is remarked by several commentators, who forget that he had accompanied Dareios: see ch. 97.]

125 [ Or, "and even so they found the pa.s.sage of the river with difficulty".]

126 [ {en Persesi}.]

127 [ i.e. 80,000.]

128 [ {gar}: some MSS. read {de}; so Stein and other Editors.]

129 [ i.e. Castor and Polydeukes the sons of Tyndareus, who were among the Argonauts.]

130 [ {Phera} (genitive).]

131 [ From {ois} "sheep" and {lukos} "wolf" ({oin en lukoisi}).]

132 [ {phule}, the word being here apparently used loosely.]

133 [ {'Erinuon}.]

134 [ {meta touto upemeine touto touto}: some Editors mark a lacuna after {upemeine}, or supply some words like {sunebe de}: "after this the children survived, and the same thing happened also in Thera, etc".]

135 [ Or, "Grinos".]

136 [ {Euphemides}: the MSS. have {Euthumides}: the correction is from Pindar, Pyth. iv. 455.]

137 [ {onax}, the usual form of address to Apollo; so in ch. 155.]

138 [ Or, "Axos".]

139 [ i.e. Aristoteles, Pind. Pyth. v. 87.]

140 [ {metaxu apolipon}.]

141 [ Or, "it happened both to himself and to the other men of Thera according to their former evil fortune"; but this would presuppose the truth of the story told in ch. 151, and {paligkotos} may mean simply "adverse" or "hostile".]

142 [ {eontes tosoutoi osoi k.t.l.} They could hardly have failed to increase in number, but no new settlers had been added.]

143 [ {usteron elthe gas anadaiomenes}, "too late for the division of land".]

144 [ Or, "Thestis".]

145 [ The MSS. give also "Aliarchos" and "Learchos".]

146 [ {mathon ekasta}.]

147 [ {ton terioikon}: i.e. conquered Libyans.]

148 [ {nesioteon panton}: i.e. the natives of the Cyclades, cp. vi. 99.]

149 [ {amphirruton ten Kurenen einai}: some Editors read by conjecture {ten amphirruton Kurenen einai} (or {Kurenen ten amph, einai}), "that Kyrene was the place flowed round by water".]

150 [ {pselion}.]

151 [ Or, "Giligammai".]
