opedon}, i.e. "the Tyrian quarter" of the town: cp.
ch. 154.]

95 [ {ten sen}, or {tauten}, "this land."]

96 [ {es o meteke auton}, "until at last he dismissed it"; but the
construction is very irregular, and there is probably some corruption of
text. Stein reads {ekon} by conjecture for {es o}.]

97 [ {delon de kata per epoiese}: a conjectural emendation of {delon
de' kata gar epoiese}, which some editors retain, translating thus, "and
this is clear; for according to the manner in which Homer described the
wanderings of Alexander, etc., it is clear how, etc."]

98 [ Il. vi. 289. The sixth book is not ordinarily included in the
{Diomedeos aristeia}.]

99 [ Od. iv. 227. These references to the Odyssey are by some thought to
be interpolations, because they refer only to the visit of Menelaos to
Egypt after the fall of Troy; but Herodotus is arguing that Homer, while
rejecting the legend of Helen's stay in Egypt during the war, yet has
traces of it left in this later visit to Egypt of Menelaos and Helen, as
well as in the visit of Paris and Helen to Sidon.]

100 [ Od. iv. 351.]

101 [ {kai tode to khorion}: probably {to khorion} ought to be struck
out: "this also is evident."]

102 [ {podeonas}, being the feet of the animals whose skins they were.]

103 [ Cp. vii. 152.]

104 [ {elasai}, which may be intransitive, "rushed into every kind of
evil."]

105 [ {stadioi}.]

106 [ {krossas}.]

107 [ {bomidas}.]

108 [ i.e. the three small pyramids just to the East of the great
pyramid.]

109 [ {oute gar k.t.l.}, "for there are no underground chambers," etc.
Something which was in the mind of the writer has been omitted either
by himself or his copyists, "and inferior to it also in other respects,
for," etc. unless, as Stein supposes, we have here a later addition
thrown in without regard to the connexion.]

110 [ {touto megathos}, "as regards attaining the same size," but
probably the text is corrupt. Stein reads {to megathos} in his later
editions.]

111 [ Or, "Philition."]

112 [ {to theo}, the goddess Leto, cp. i. 105.]

113 [ {suntakhunein auton ton bion}: some MSS. and Editors read {auto}
for {auton}, "that heaven was shortening his life."]

114 [ More literally, "bidding him take up the blood-money, who would."
The people of Delphi are said to have put Esop to death and to have been
ordered by the Oracle to make compensation.]

115 [ {os an einai 'Podopin}: so the MSS. Some Editors read {'Podopi
