[Footnote 102.]

22 [ {tou propheten}, the interpreter of the utterances of the
{promantis}.]

28 [ See ch. 31.]

29 [ {pros pantas tous allous}, "in comparison with all the rest," cp.
iii. 94.]

30 [ {stratarkheo}: a vague expression, because being introduced after
Kecrops he could not have the title of king.]

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.]

43 [ {oi perioikoi}: some Editors omit the article and translate "and
these are the so-called Orneates or dwellers round (Argos)," Orneates

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."]
