herodotus

[4] {arpages}.[4a] "thus or in some other particular way."[5] {Surion}, see ch. 72. Herodotus perhaps meant to distinguish{Surioi} from {Suroi}, and to use the first name for theCappadokians and the second for the people of Palestine, cp. ii.104; but they are naturally confused in the MSS.[6] {ex epidromes arpage}.[7] {tes anoigomenes thures}, "the door that is opened."[8] Or "because she was ashamed."[9] {phoitan}.[10] {upeisdus}: Stein adopts the conjecture {upekdus}, "slipping outof his hiding-place.[11] This last sentence is by many regarded as an interpolation. Theline referred to is {Ou moi ta Gugeo tou polukhrosou melei}.[12] See v. 92.[13] i.e. like other kings of Lydia who came after him.[14] {Kolophonos to astu}, as opposed apparently to the acropolis, cp.viii. 51.[15] See ch. 73.[16] {o kai esballon tenikauta es ten Milesien ten stratien}: anallusion apparently to the invasions of the Milesian land atharvest time, which are described above. All the operationsmentioned in the last chapter have been loosely described toAlyattes, and a correction is here added to inform the reader thatthey belong equally to his father. It will hardly mend mattersmuch if we take {o Audos} in ch. 17 to include both father andson.[17] {didaxanta}.[18] This name is applied by Herodotus to the southern part of thepeninsula only.
