Notes on the current edition

History of the Peloponnesian War

1. The narrative recurs to the end of ch. xvii.
2. cf. ch. xvii. (end).
3. The text is surely not in order and numerous emendations have been offered. The rendering above assumes ευμμαχίαν ποιεῖσθαι as predicate of νομίζοντες, and adds καί, before νομίσαντες as correlative to τε—or, possibly, νομίσαντες may be causal.
4. ie. if there should be no treaty between Athens and Sparta, any dissatisfied state in the Peloponnesus might join the Athenian alliance and cause trouble. This danger would be removed by entering into the treaty, and also Argos, whose relations continued hostile, would be isolated.
