History of the Peloponnesian War (English) (Thucydides, Vol. 1-4. Smith, Charles Foster, translator. London and Cambridge, MA: Heinemann and Harvard University Press, 1919-1923.)
δίκαια —cf. c. 44, 4.
πρὸς . . ἐς —no difference of meaning.
Θηβαίων = πρὸς τοὺς Θηβαίους.
φίλους νομίζοντας = εἰ φίλους νομίζετε ( ἡμᾶς).
τὰ δ’ ἐν τῇ εἰρήνῃ —adverbial. The art. covers πρός.
καὶ γάρ —(1) this could be taken together,= etenim, or (2) a correlative for καί could be sought in what follows, or (3) καί could be supposed to emphasize the concessive force of ἠπειρῶται ὄντες: most probably (1) is right, though some deny this use for Thuc.
μάχῃ —temporal, without ἐν; this dat. is used several times by Thuc. The Plataeans were always proud of the fact that the battle had been fought on their soil.
καὶ ὑμῖν . . ἰδίᾳ —as distinct from their services to the common cause.
ὅτεπερ δή —‘at the very time when,’ in 464 B.C.
τῶν . . ἀποστάντων depends on φόβος. For the position of the attrib. partic., not rare in Thuc. when other qualifying words are added, cf. II. 18 ἡ ἐν Ἰσθμῷ ἐπιμόνη γενομἐνη, c. 67, 3.
