Notes on the current edition

History of the Peloponnesian War

1. εἷμεν λῇν.] For the various conjectures as to the true reading in this passage, see Poppo.
2. ἀμόθι.] Or, as Arnold takes it, after Bredow,
any where.
3. ξυμβαλέσθαι.] Bloomfield supposes
the allies
to be the subject of this infinitive; but it surely must be the parties to which ἐπιδείξαντας refers. The same parties must also be the subject of ἀπιάλλειν in the following sentence: but their object in thus sending them away is doubtful; whether it was that the ambassadors might consult their governments on the objections they had made to the treaty; or, that they might not, by their intrigues, attempt to unsettle the relations between Argos and Lacedaemon. The latter appears to me more accordant with the brief and summary ex pression, οἴκαδ᾽ ἀπιάλλειν.
