Some Editors,following inferior MSS., read {te krisi}, "at the judgmentexpressed."41. {muriadon}, "ten thousands."42. Or, "Hermione."43. {oi perioikoi}: some Editors omit the article and translate "andthese are the so-called Orneates or dwellers round (Argos),"Orneates being a name for the {perioikoi} of Argos, derived fromthe conquered city of Orneai.44. {elpidi mainomene}, "with a mad hope."45. {krateron Koron Ubrios uion}.46. {dokeunt ana panta tithesthai}: the MSS. have also {pithesthai}.Possibly {tithesthai} might stand, though {anatithesthai} is notfound elsewhere in this sense. Stein adopts in his last editionthe conjecture {piesthai}, "swallow up."47. {Kronides}.48. {potnia Nike}.49. i.e. about rivalry.50. {ton epibateon}.51. Many Editors reading {osa de} and {parainesas de}, make the stopafter {antitithemena}: "and in all that is produced in the natureand constitution of man he exhorted them to choose the better."52. {o daimonioi}, "strange men."
53. See ch. 22.54. {pros de eti kai proselabeto}: the MSS. have {prosebaleto}. MostEditors translate, "Moreover Ariamnes . . . contributed to thefate of the Phenicians, being a friend (of the Ionians);" but thisdoes not seem possible unless we read {philos eon Iosi} (or{Ionon}). Valla translates nearly as I have done. (It does notappear that {prosballesthai} is found elsewhere in the sense of{sumballesthai}.)55. i.e. they who were commanded to execute them.56. See vii. 179, 181.57. See vi. 49, etc., and 73.58. {keleta}.59. {sumballontai}: the Athenians apparently are spoken of, for theyalone believed the story.60. {apoplesai}: this is the reading of the MSS.; but many Editorsadopt corrections ({apoplesthai} or {apoplesthenai}). The subjectto {apoplesai} is to be found in the preceding sentence and theconnexion with {ton te allon panta k.t.l.} is a loose one. This infact is added as an afterthought, the idea being originally tocall attention simply to the fulfilment of the oracle ofLysistratos.61. {phruxousi}: a conjectural emendation, adopted by most Editors, of{phrixousi}, "will shudder (at the sight of oars)."62. {kat allon kai allon}: the MSS. have {kat allon}, but Valla'srendering is "alium atque alium."63. {uper megalon aiorethenta}.64. i.e. 300,000.65. {os ek kakon}: some translate, "thinking that he had escaped fromhis troubles."66. {toisi epikletoisi}, cp. vii. 8 and ix. 42.67. i.e. Asia, as opposed to "these parts."
