[ {periskhizetai}.]

57 [ {epheugon asmenoi}.]

58 [ {tou Pitaneteon lokhou}, called below {ton lokhon ton
Pitaneten}. Evidently {lokhos} here is a division of considerable size.]

59 [ {anainomenou}: some MSS. and many Editors read
{nenomenou}, "since he was thus minded."]

60 [ {os alla phroneonton kai alla legonton}.]

61 [ Cp. ch. 11.]

62 [ The structure of the sentence is rather confused, and
perhaps some emendation is required.]

63 [ {eti ti lexete}. The MSS. and most Editors read {ti},
"what will ye say after this?" The order of the words is against this.]

64 [ {anarpasomenoi}: cp. viii. 28.]

65 [ {phraxantes ta gerra}: cp. ch. 99.]

66 [ {anoploi}, by which evidently more is meant than the
absence of shields; cp. the end of ch. 63, where the equipment of the
Persians is compared to that of light-armed troops.]

67 [ See viii. 114.]

68 [ {es Leoniden}: this is ordinarily translated "as far as
Leonidas;" but to say "his ancestors above Anaxandrides have been given
as far as Leonidas" (the son of Anaxandrides), is hardly intelligible.
The reference is to vii. 204.]

69 [ Most of the MSS. call him Aeimnestos (with some variation
of spelling), but Plutarch has Arimnestos.]

70 [ See ch. 15: There is no sharp distinction here between
camp and palisade, the latter being merely the fortified part of the
encampment.]

71 [ {anaktoron}, a usual name for the temple of Demeter and
Persephone at Eleusis.]

72 [ i.e. 40,000.]

73 [ {ege katertemenos}: the better MSS. have {eie} for {ege},
which is retained by some Editors ({toutous} being then taken with {inai
pantas}): for {katertemenos} we find as variations {katertemenos} and
{katertismenos}. Many Editors read {katertismenos} ("well prepared"),
following the Aldine tradition.]

74 [ {ephelokakeonton}.]

75 [ {en oudeni logo apolonto}.]

76 [ Stein proposes to substitute "Athenians" for
"Lacedemonians" here, making the comparative {erremenestere} anticipate
the account given in the next few clauses.]

77 [ {erromenestere}.]

78 [ Cp. i. 66.]

79 [ {aluktazon}, a word of doubtful meaning which is not found
elsewhere.]

80 [ i.e. 300,000.]

81 [ {o Spartietes}: it has been proposed to read {Spartietai},
for it can hardly be supposed that the other two were not Spartans
also.]

82 [ One MS. at least calls him Aeimenstos, cp. ch. 64:
Thucydides (iii. [Footnote 52) mentions Aeimnestos as the name of a
