herodotus

66. {anoploi}, by which evidently more is meant than the absence ofshields; cp. the end of ch. 63, where the equipment of thePersians is compared to that of light-armed troops.67. See viii. 114.68. {es Leoniden}: this is ordinarily translated "as far as Leonidas;"but to say "his ancestors above Anaxandrides have been given asfar as Leonidas" (the son of Anaxandrides), is hardlyintelligible. The reference is to vii. 204.69. Most of the MSS. call him Aeimnestos (with some variation ofspelling), but Plutarch has Arimnestos.70. See ch. 15. There is no sharp distinction here between camp andpalisade, the latter being merely the fortified part of theencampment.71. {anaktoron}, a usual name for the temple of Demeter and Persephoneat Eleusis.72. i.e. 40,000.73. {ege katertemenos}: the better MSS. have {eie} for {ege}, which isretained by some Editors ({toutous} being then taken with {inaipantas}): for {katertemenos} we find as variations {katertemenos}and {katertismenos}. Many Editors read {katertismenos} ("wellprepared"), following the Aldine tradition.74. {ephelokakeonton}.75. {en oudeni logo apolonto}.76. Stein proposes to substitute "Athenians" for "Lacedemonians" here,making the comparative {erremenestere} anticipate the accountgiven in the next few clauses.77. {erromenestere}.78. Cp. i. 66.79. {aluktazon}, a word of doubtful meaning which is not foundelsewhere.80. i.e. 300,000.
