Notes on the current edition

History of the Peloponnesian War

1. ἐς ἅπαν τὸ ὑπάρχον ἀναρριπτοῦσι.] Ducas and Göller take ἐς ἅπαν separately from τὸ ὑπάρχον, but Poppo agrees with Arnold in uniting them, and thinks with Bloomfield that κύκλον is properly understood with ἀναρριπτοῦσιν. He also approves of Scholefield's explanation of the following part the sentence:
Neque destituit, quamdiu ab eâ cognitâ cavere poterit aliquis; sed tum demum, cùm periculo nullum rclinquitur remedium.
I cannot, however, but think that a much more natural interpretation is that of Portus and Krüger, whom I have followed. Nor is the sense given by them to ἐλλέιπει so entirely destitute of authority as has been supposed; for the verb is used in exactly the same manner, Eur. El. 609, σὺ δ᾽, ἐκ βάθρων γὰρ πᾶς ἀνῄρησαι, φίλος οὐδ᾽ ἐλλέλοιπας ἐλπίδ᾽, ἴσθι μου κλύων. In the present passage we may perhaps understand ἀυτῷ after it, so that the preposition may have its proper force. Bekker, in his edit of 1832. proposes to read οὐκέτι λείπει.
