an citizen, the father of Lacon. Stein observes that in any case
this cannot be that Arimnestos who is mentioned by Plutarch as commander
of the Plataian contingent.]

83 [ {eoutou axion prophumeumenou apodexasthai}.]

84 [ {atelein te kai proedrin}.]

85 [ vi. 92.]

86 [ {andra pentaethlon}.]

87 [ {oute daimonon oute theon}: heroes and in general
divinities of the second order are included under the term {daimonon}.]

88 [ Most of the commentators (and following them the
historians) understand the imperfect {ediokon} to express the mere
purpose to attempt, and suppose that this purpose was actually hindered
by the Lacedemonians, but for a mere half-formed purpose the expression
{mekhri Thessalies} seems to definite, and Diodorus states that
Artabazos was pursued. I think therefore that Krueger is right in
understanding {eon} of an attempt to dissuade which was not successful.
The alternative version would be "they were for pursuing them as far
as Thessaly, but the Lacedemonians prevented them from pursuing
fugitives."]

89 [ {akinakas}.]

90 [ Whether three tithes were taken or only one is left
uncertain.]

91 [ "furniture furnished" is hardly tolerable; perhaps
Herodotus wrote {skenen} for {kataskeuen} here.]

92 [ The connexion here is not satisfactory, and the chapter is
in part a continuation of chapter 81: It is possible that ch. 82 may
be a later addition by the author, thrown in without much regard to the
context.]

93 [ "Whereas however the body of Mardonios had disappeared on
the day after the battle (taken by whom I am not able to say....), it is
reported with some show of reason that Dionysophanes, an Ephesian, was
he who buried it." The construction however is irregular and broken by
parentheses: possibly there is some corruption of text.]

94 [ {tous irenas}. Spartans between twenty and thirty years
old were so called. The MSS. have {ireas}.]

95 [ {proxeinon}.]

96 [ "fill up more calamities," cp. v. 4.]

97 [ {es antilogien}.]

98 [ {antilogies kuresein}.]

99 [ {ten mesogaian tamnon tes odou}, cp. vii. 124: The
expression seems almost equivalent to {tamnon ten mesen odon}, apart
from any question of inland or coast roads.]

100 [ {limo sustantas kai kamato}, "having struggled with
hunger and fatigue."]

101 [ {autos}: some MSS. read {outos}. If the text is right, it
means Artabazos as distinguished from his troops.]

102 [ i.e. "leader of the army."]
