Commentary

Commentary on Thucydides: Book 3 (Thucydides, Book III. Marchant, Edgar C., editor. London: Macmillan and Company, 1909.) focus

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.
