[ {prosballontes}: most of the MSS. have {prosbalontes}, and
so also in ch. 21 and 22 they have {prosbalouses}.]

24 [ i.e. the retreat with which each charge ended and the turn
from retreat in preparation for a fresh charge. So much would be done
without word of command, before reining in their horses.]

25 [ {ephoiteon}.]

2501 [ Or, according to some MSS., "much contention in
argument."]

26 [ i.e. the left wing.]

27 [ The name apparently should be Kepheus, but there is no
authority for changing the text.]

not clear, because the conditions of the {pentaethlon} are not known:
however the wrestling {pale} seems to have been the last of the five
contests, and the meaning may be that both Tisamenos and Hieronymos had
beaten all the other competitors and were equal so far, when Tisamenos
failed to win two out of three falls in the wrestling.]

fetch him."]

conjecture {aiteomenous} (or {aiteomenon}) seems probable enough: "if
one may compare the man who asked for royal power with him who asked
only for citizenship."]
