herodotus

[74] {sindonos bussines}.[75] {to kommi}.[76] {nros}.[77] Or, "a pleasant sweet taste."[78] {apala}, "soft."[79] {kat oligous ton kegkhron}.[80] {apo ton sillikuprion tou karpou}.[81] {zuga}, to tie the sides and serve as a partial deck.[82] {esti de oud' outos}: a few MSS. have {ouk} instead of {oud'},and most Editors follow them. The meaning however seems to be thateven here the course in time of flood is different, and much morein the lower parts.[83] {os apergmenos ree}: the MSS. mostly have {os apergmenos reei},in place of which I have adopted the correction of Stein. Mostother Editors read {os apergmenos peei} (following a few inferiorMSS.), "the bend of the Nile which flows thus confined."[84] Not therefore in the Delta, to which in ch. 15 was assigned alater origin than this.[85] {kat' ouden einai lamprotetos}: Stein reads {kai} for {kat'},thus making the whole chapter parenthetical, with {ou gar elegon}answered by {parameipsamenos on}, a conjecture which is ingeniousbut not quite convincing.[86] {stratien pollen labon}: most of the MSS. have {ton} after{pollen}, which perhaps indicates that some words are lost.[87] {kai prosotata}: many MSS. have {kai ou prosotata}, which isdefended by some Editors in the sense of a comparative, "and notfurther."[88] {Suroi} in the better MSS.; see note in i.6.[89] {Surioi}.
