Notes on the current edition

History of the Peloponnesian War

1. Göller observes that we should have expected εἰσίν here, rather than ἦσαν; but the construction is confused, and the imperfect ἦσαν is to be referred to ὑπείπομεν rather than to ἀποδείκνυμεν.
We say, what we said before, namely, that we had both the same enemies.
— Arnold.
2. Arnold says that
the infinitive moods ἐᾶν and ἔχειν depend upon a verb understood, which is to be borrowed from the preceding clause: for οὐκ ὁμοία is the same thing in sense as οὐκ ὁμοίως ξυμφέρει; from whence the verb ξυμφέρει is to be tacitly repeated with what follows.
—That some such impersonal verb is understood is very probable: but is not οὐκ ὁμοία rather equivalent to οὐκ ὁμοίως ἀξύμφορόν ἐστι?
Not merely the same as it would be in the ease of a land alliance, but much greater.
Compare two expressions in I. 143. 3, 4, καὶ ἄλλα οὐκ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἴσου μεγάλα ἐχειν ... καὶ οὐκέτι ἐκ τοῦ ὁμοίου ἔσται πελοποννήσου μέρος τι τμηθῆναι καὶ τὴν Ἀττικὴν ἅπασαν κ. τ. λ.
