Notes on the current edition

History of the Peloponnesian War

1. An incredibly large number. In 8.25.2 , where they are in their own land, the Milesians can oppose to the enemy only 800 hoplites. Nor would ten ships suffice for so many epibatae. Perhaps there is a confusion in the numerical sign, due to a copyist.
2. The heaven of Cythera, some ten stadia distant from that city.
3. It seems necessary to adopt Stahl's conjecture ἀπὸ θαλάσσης, or deleted ἐπὶ θαλάσσῃ. “One division of the Athenian force landed at Scandeia, another, disembarking on the N.E coast, marched on the capital. The second force found the Cytherians prepared to meet them; in the battle which ensued the Cytherians were routed, and fled to the upper city, ie. the capital. This explanation is borne out by existing remains. See Frazer's Pausanias, iii. 385, 386; also Weil in Mittheil. d. Arch. Inst. in Athen. v. 224-243.” (Spratt.)
