NOTES TO BOOK IV.
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Herodotus and Macaulay, G. C. (George Campbell)
114 (return) [ Perhaps the same as the "Hyrgis" mentioned in ch. 57. Some Editors read "Hyrgis" in this passage.]
115 (return) [ See ch. 119.]
116 (return) [ {klaiein lego}.]
117 (return) [ {touto esti e apo Skutheon resis}: this refers to the last words, {klaiein lego}. Most Editors have doubts about the genuineness of the sentence, regarding it a marginal gloss which has crept into the text; but perhaps without sufficient reason.]
118 (return) [ Or, "with some slight effect on the course of the war".]
119 (return) [ See i. 216.]
120 (return) [ {eremothentes tou omilou}.]
121 (return) [ {iesan tes phones}.]
122 (return) [ {e mia kai Sauromatai}: some Editors read {e meta Sauromateon}. The MSS. give {e mia Sauromatai} (some {Sauromateon}). Stein inserts {kai}.]
123 (return) [ {khairontes eleutheroi}.]
124 (return) [ The list includes only those who voted in favour of the proposal of Histiaios (i.e. Miltiades is not included in it): hence perhaps Stein is right in suggesting some change in the text, e.g. {oi diapherontes te ten psephon basileos kai eontes logou pleistou}. The absence of the name of Coës is remarked by several commentators, who forget that he had accompanied Dareios: see ch. 97.]
125 (return) [ Or, "and even so they found the passage of the river with difficulty".]
126 (return) [ {en Persesi}.]
127 (return) [ i.e. 80,000.]
128 (return) [ {gar}: some MSS. read {de}; so Stein and other Editors.]
129 (return) [ i.e. Castor and Polydeukes the sons of Tyndareus, who were among the Argonauts.]
130 (return) [ {Phera} (genitive).]
131 (return) [ From {ois} "sheep" and {lukos} "wolf" ({oin en lukoisi}).]
132 (return) [ {phule}, the word being here apparently used loosely.]
133 (return) [ {'Erinuon}.]
134 (return) [ {meta touto upemeine touto touto}: some Editors mark a lacuna after {upemeine}, or supply some words like {sunebe de}: "after this the children survived, and the same thing happened also in Thera, etc".]
135 (return) [ Or, "Grinos".]
136 (return) [ {Euphemides}: the MSS. have {Euthumides}: the correction is from Pindar, Pyth. iv. 455.]
137 (return) [ {onax}, the usual form of address to Apollo; so in ch. 155.]
138 (return) [ Or, "Axos".]
139 (return) [ i.e. Aristoteles, Pind. Pyth. v. 87.]
140 (return) [ {metaxu apolipon}.]
141 (return) [ Or, "it happened both to himself and to the other men of Thera according to their former evil fortune"; but this would presuppose the truth of the story told in ch. 151, and {paligkotos} may mean simply "adverse" or "hostile".]
142 (return) [ {eontes tosoutoi osoi k.t.l.} They could hardly have failed to increase in number, but no new settlers had been added.]
143 (return) [ {usteron elthe gas anadaiomenes}, "too late for the division of land".]
144 (return) [ Or, "Thestis".]
145 (return) [ The MSS. give also "Aliarchos" and "Learchos".]
146 (return) [ {mathon ekasta}.]
147 (return) [ {ton terioikon}: i.e. conquered Libyans.]
148 (return) [ {nesioteon panton}: i.e. the natives of the Cyclades, cp. vi. 99.]
149 (return) [ {amphirruton ten Kurenen einai}: some Editors read by conjecture {ten amphirruton Kurenen einai} (or {Kurenen ten amph, einai}), "that Kyrene was the place flowed round by water".]
150 (return) [ {pselion}.]
151 (return) [ Or, "Giligammai".]
152 (return) [ i.e. the plant so called, figured on the coins of Kyrene and Barca.]
153 (return) [ Or, "Asbytai".]
