Notes on the current edition

History of the Peloponnesian War

1. The remains of the walls now seen around the Peiraeus are not those of the Themistoclean walls, which were destroyed at the end of the Peloponnesian War, but of the walls built by Conon in 393. A small part of these remains, on the flat ground north of the Peiraeus toward the mainland, answers exactly to Thucydides' description--being of solid stone and over 25 feet thick--but most of the remains are of two outer faces of stone, the intermediate spaces filled in with rubble and earth. On Munychia there is no trace anywhere of a solid wall of the age of Themistocles.
