lo: or perhaps more generally, "God," as in ch. 27.]

87 [ This in brackets is probably an interpolation. It is omitted by
some of the best MSS. Some Editors suspect the genuineness of the next
four lines also, on internal grounds.]

88 [ {erxies}, perhaps meaning "worker."]

89 [ {areios}.]

90 [ {megas areios}.]

91 [ {ippoboteon}, lit. "horse-breeding": see v. 77.]

9101 [ Or (according to some MSS.), "having come to shore at these
places."]

92 [ {katergontes}: the word is not elsewhere found intransitive, yet it
is rather difficult to supply {tous Athenaious}. Some alterations have
been proposed, but none probable.]

93 [ Lit. "and it happened that in winning this victory he won the same
victory as his half-brother Miltiades." See ch. 36.]

of the rapid advance, or as an additional source of wonder on the part
of the Persians at the boldness of the Athenians, is not clear.]

107 [ Or (according to some MSS.) "having taken hold."]

108 [ The account of how the oil was dealt with has perhaps dropt out:
one MS. and the Aldine edition have "the oil they collect in vessels,
and this," etc.]

109 [ This chapter is omitted by several of the best MSS., and is almost
certainly an interpolation. (In the Medicean MS. it has been added in
the margin by a later hand.)]
