e 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 Athenaeus 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.]

86 [ {kithonas}.]

87 [ {drepana}, "reaping-hooks," cp. v. 112.]

88 [ See i. 171.]

89 [ {Pelasgoi Aigialees}.]

90 [ {kerkouroi}.]

91 [ {makra}: some MSS. and editions have {smikra}, "small."]

92 [ Or "Mapen."]

93 [ Or "Seldomos."]

94 [ {metoped
