is not a slip,
but a dramatic touch on the part of the author, I think. And Cyrus is
speaking of cavalry there, and anticipates the result.

C1.34 fin. A singular feature this in ancient battles. Is it simply
and solely Oriental, or general, and Hellenic also? Has it any analogue
nowadays anywhere? Probably with Egyptian troops in the Soudan it has
(hgd. 1884).

C2.6-7. The archic man through an act of bad discipline makes good
discipline more acceptable.

C2.13. The civilised method of dealing with a conquered city. Instead of
pillage and rapine, an indemnity, which will bring in to the conquerors
wealth, and yet not destroy the arts of the population, which are the
fountain-heads of beauty. || Modern. So the archic man asserts his
superiority once more.

C2.24. Is this also Xenophon's view? If so, it throws light on his
theory of rank and caste.

C3.2. Curious Cyrus should be so little suspicious of Abradatas' death,
is it not? Because the victory was not bloodless. Notice, too,
how little is said of the bloodshed; that is Hellenic as well as
Xenophontine, I fancy.

C3.7. Something epic in all this. Cf. Archilles sacrificing at the tomb
of Patroklos.

C3.8 ff. The pathos of the situation and the _Eironeia_ at its maximum.
"Euripidean" touches throughout.

C3.16. [This is bracketed in most editions, no doubt rightly, as an
interpolation. It was not translated in Mr. Dakyns' manuscript, but his
marginal note is characteristic, and evidently he would have translated
the section in a footnote. It may be rendered thus: "It is said that a
monument was raised above the eunuchs and is in existence to this day.
On the upper slab the names of the husband and the wife are written
in Syrian letters, and below are three other slabs, inscribed 'To the
chamberlains.'"]

C3.16. Interesting, especially if of later insertion, and perhaps given
the historical basis of the story in some monument on the Pactolus,
known to Xenophon. I wish a new Schliemann would find it. hgd.

C4. Semi-historical? The version is to be found, I think, in C4.2, which
is the _piece justicative_. The episode itself is full of humour, as
good as a play: Xenophon has seen these duplicities often. Brer Fox
outwitted by Brer Rabbit.

C4.4. Can these rival fastnesses of the Carians be identified? All this
country is well known to Xenophon (_vide Hellenica_, III. c. 4, etc.).

C4.6. Beautiful renewal of the peaceful arts, festivals, and
merry-makin
