10201 [ {en to Ionio kolpo}.]
103 [ Stein reads {para Khona potamon}, "by the river Chon," a
conjecture derived from Theognostus.]
104 [ It is thought by some Editors that "the prophets" just
above, and these words, "and they told them," are interpolated.]
105 [ {emphuton mantiken}, as opposed to the {entekhnos
mantike} possessed for example by Melampus, cp. ii. 49.]
106 [ Or possibly "Calamoi."]
107 [ i.e. 60,000.]
10701 [ {ton Potneion}, i.e. either the Eumenides or Demeter
and Persephone.]
108 [ {apistous toisi Ellesi}. Perhaps the last two words
are to be rejected, and {apistous} to be taken in its usual sense,
"distrusted"; cp. viii. 22.]
109 [ {neokhmon an ti poieein}.]
110 [ {pheme eseptato}.]
111 [ {eteralkea}, cp. viii. 11.]
112 [ {ton Perseon}: perhaps we should read {ek ton Perseon},
"appointed by the Persians to guard the passes."]
113 [ {ti neokhmon poieoien}.]
114 [ {ten kephalen smatai}: the meaning is uncertain.]
115 [ {Pou de kou me apolesas}: some Editors read {ko} for
{kou} (by conjecture), and print the clause as a statement instead of a
question, "not yet hast thou caused by ruin."]

from inferior MSS., "they fell upon him when he was, as one may say, off
his guard."]
118 [ {estergon ta pareonta}.]
119 [ {ekpheugonta}: many Editors have {ekphugonta}, "after he
had escaped."]
120 [ {tarikhos eon}. The word {tarikhos} suggests the idea of
human bodies embalmed, as well as of dried or salted meat.]
121 [ {oi}: some Editors approve the conjecture {moi}, "impose
upon myself this penalty."]
122 [ {sanidas}: some read by conjecture {sanidi}, or {pros
sanida}: cp. vii. 33.]

the proposal, yet bade them do so if they would."]
