127 [ i.e. 80,000.]

128 [ {gar}: some MSS. read {de}; so Stein and other Editors.]

133 [ {'Erinuon}.]

134 [ {meta touto upemeine touto touto}: some Editors mark a lacuna
after {upemeine}, or supply some words like {sunebe de}: "after this the
children survived, and the same thing happened also in Thera, etc".]

135 [ Or, "Grinos".]

136 [ {Euphemides}: the MSS. have {Euthumides}: the correction is from
Pindar, Pyth. iv. 455.]
