equired, not only by the facts of the case, but also bycomparison with ch. 95.[75] {nomos}, and so throughout.[76] or "Hygennians."[77] i.e. the Cappadokians, see i. 6.[77a] See ii. 149.[78] {muriadas}: the MSS. have {muriasi}. With {muriadas} we mustsupply {medimnon}. The {medimnos} is really about a bushel and ahalf.[79] {Pausikai}: some MSS. have {Pausoi}.[80] {tous anaspastous kaleomenous}.[81] {Kaspioi}: some read by conjecture {Kaspeiroi}, others {Kasioi}.[82] {ogdokonta kai oktakosia kai einakiskhilia}: the MSS. have{tesserakonta kai pentakosia kai einakiskhilia} (9540), which isirreconcilable with the total sum given below, and also with thesum obtained by adding up the separate items given in Babyloniantalents, whether we reduce them by the proportion 70:60 given bythe MSS. in ch. 89, or by the true proportion 78:60. On the otherhand the total sum given below is precisely the sum of theseparate items (after subtracting the 140 talents used for thedefence of Kilikia), reduced in the proportion 78:60; and thisproves the necessity of the emendation here ({thop} for {thphm})as well as supplying a strong confirmation of that adopted in ch.89.[83] The reckoning throughout is in round numbers, nothing less thanthe tens being mentioned.[84] {oi peri te Nusen}: perhaps this should be corrected to {oi teperi Nusen}, because the {sunamphoteroi} which follows seem torefer to two separate peoples.[85] The passage "these Ethiopians--dwellings" is marked by Stein asdoubtful on internal grounds. The Callantian Indians mentionedseem to be the same as the Callantians mentioned in ch. 38.[86] {khoinikas}.
