Commentary

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

τότε —see c. 33, 1.

ἐκ τῶν )Αθηναίων —the other places in Thuc. in which ἐκ ‘on the part of,’ practically = ὐπό are I. 20, II. 49, V. 104, VI. 36. The use is Ionic; not found in ordinary Attic prose.

σποράδες —correl. with the preceding partic., as in c. 82, 1 οὐκ ἂν ἐχόντων πρόφασιν οὐδ’ ἑτοίμων παρακαλεῖν, but Classen points out that ἀπ’ αὐτῆς σπορἀδες goes more closely with κατηνέχθησαν, and regards καί before ἀπ’ as spurious.

Κυλλήνῃ —the port of the Eleans.

ξύμβουλον —because the ναύαρχος had shown his incompetence.

περὶ Ναύπακτον —see c. 7, 3.

πρὶν . . προφθάσωσι —the constr. is ὅπως δὲ προφθάσωσι (a second reason of the plan adopted), πρίν . . , but for the sake of the antithesis between δώδεκα . . παρόντων and πλέον τι ἐπι. the order is changed.
