no more a {nuktomakhin} than any other battle
which is interrupted by darkness coming on.]

89 [ See ch. 188. Nabunita was his true name.]

90 [ See ch. 107 ff.]

91 [ Not "somewhere near the city of Sinope," for it must have been at a
considerable distance and probably far inland. Sinope itself is at least
fifty miles to the west of the Halys. I take it to mean that Pteria was
nearly due south of Sinope, i.e. that the nearest road from Pteria to
the sea led to Sinope. Pteria no doubt was the name of a region as well
as of a city.]

92 [ {anastatous epoiese}.]

93 [ This is the son of the man mentioned in ch. 74.]

94 [ {us en autou xeinikos}. Stein translates "so much of it as was
mercenary," but it may be doubted if this is possible. Mr. Woods, "which
army of his was a foreign one."]

Phrygia.]

96 [ i.e. the whole strip of territory to the West of the peninsula
of Argolis, which includes Thyrea and extends southwards to Malea:
"westwards as far as Malea" would be absurd.]

97 [ {outos}: a conjectural emendation of {autos}.]

98 [ {autos}: some MSS. read {o autos}, "this same man."]

99 [ {aneneikamenon}, nearly equivalent to {anastemaxanta} (cp. Hom. Il.
xix. 314), {mnesamenos d' adinos aneneikato phonesen te}. Some translate
it here, "he recovered himself," cp. ch. 116, {aneneikhtheis}.]

100 [ {ubristai}.]

101 [ {proesousi}: a conjectural emendation of {poiesousi}, adopted in
most of the modern editions.]

102 [ {touto oneidisai}: or {touton oneidisai}, "to reproach the god
with these things." The best MSS. have {touto}.]

103 [ {to kai... eipe ta eipe Loxias k.t.l.}: various emendations have
been proposed. If any one is to be adopted, the boldest would perhaps be
the best, {to de kai... eipe Loxias}.]

104 [ {oia te kai alle khore}, "such as other lands have."]

105 [ {stadioi ex kai duo plethra}.]

110 [ {tes ano 'Asies}, i.e. the parts which are removed from the
Mediterranean.]

111 [ i.e. nature would not be likely to supply so many regularly
ascending circles. Stein alters the text so that the sentence runs thus,
"and whereas there are seven circles of all, within the last is the
royal palace," etc.]

112 [ i.e. "to laugh or to spit is unseemly for those in presence of
the king, and this last for all, whether in t
