renea}: this form, which is given by at least one MS.
throughout, seems preferable, as being closer to the Persian name
which it represents, "Vindafrana," cp. v. 25. Most of the MSS. have
{'Intaphernea}.]

61 [ {phthas emeu}.]

62 [ {ti}: some MSS. have {tis}, "in order that persons may trust
(themselves) to them more."]

63 [ i.e. "let him be killed on the spot."]

64 [ {ta panta muria}, "ten thousand of every possible thing," (or, "of
all the usual gifts"; cp. ch. 84 {ten pasan doreen}).]

65 [ {dethen}.]

66 [ {oideonton ton pregmaton}: "while things were swelling," cp. ch.
127: perhaps here, "before things came to a head."]

6601 [ {andreona}, as in ch. 121.]

67 [ {ana te edramon palin}, i.e. they ran back into the room out of
which they had come to see what was the matter; with this communicated a
bedchamber which had its light only by the open door of communication.]

6701 [ {magophonia}.]

68 [ Or, "after it had lasted more than five days," taking {thorubos}
as the subject of {egeneto}. The reason for mentioning the particular
number five seems to be contained in the passage quoted by Stein from
Sextus Empiricus, {enteuphen kai oi Person kharientes nomon ekhousi,
basileos par' autois teleutesantos pente tas ephexes emeras anomian
agein}.]

69 [ See vi. 43.]

70 [ {isonomie}, "equal distribution," i.e. of civil rights.]

71 [ {ouden oikeion}: the MSS. have {ouden oud' oikeion}, which might be
translated "anything of its own either."]

72 [ {to lego}: the MSS. have {ton lego}, "each of the things about
which I speak being best in its own kind." The reading {to logo}, which
certainly gives a more satisfactory meaning, is found in Stobaeus, who
quotes the passage.]

73 [ {kakoteta}, as opposed to the {arete} practised by the members of
an aristocracy.]

74 [ {okto kaiebdomekonta mneas}: the MSS. have {ebdomekonta mneas}
only, and this reading seems to have existed as early as the second
century of our era: nevertheless the correction is required, not only by
the facts of the case, but also by comparison with ch. 95.]

75 [ {nomos}, and so throughout.]

76 [ or "Hygennians."]

77 [ i.e. the Cappadokians, see i. 6.]

7701 [ See ii. 149.]

78 [ {muriadas}: the MSS. have {muriasi}. With {muriadas} we must supply
{medimnon}. The {medimnos} is really about a bushel and a half.]

79 [ {Pausikai}: some MSS. have {Pausoi}.]

80 [ {tous anaspastous kaleomenous}.]

81 [ {Kaspioi}: some read by
