Alas! Alas! I hear these supreme of horrors, both a disgrace to the Persians, and a subject for shrill shriekings. But turn back again and tell me this, how great was the number of the ships of the Greeks, that they ventured to join battle with the Persian armament in the encounter of vessels?

Hélas ! j'apprends là des malheurs sans fond, opprobres de la Perse, matière à sanglots aigus. Mais reviens en arrière et dis-moi combien de vaisseaux comptaient donc les Grecs, pour qu'ils aient songé à enga-

Ah well-a-day! these crowning woes I hear,

The shame of Persia and her shrieks of dole!
But yet renew the tale, repeat thy words,
Tell o'er the count of those Hellenic ships,
And how they ventured with their beaked prows
To charge upon the Persian armament.

Daß sie die Kühnheit hatten, mit dem Perserheer

Σάρδεσιν:
σάρδεσιν
M. Lips.
σάρδεσι
G. Vulgo
Σάρδεσι
.
Hunc versum, quod quartam a fine syllabam in vocabuli exitu longam habet, depravatum esse existimavit Porsonus in supplemento praefationis ad Hecubam p. XXXV. simulque eam suspicionem alio firmare studuit argumento. Ariomardus, inquit, supra 38. Thebarum praefectus erat. Cur igitur Sardibus luctuosa esset eius mors? Hoc, ut opinor, sentiens scholiastes addit,
πατρὶς γὰρ αἱ Σάρδεις αὐτῷ
. Sed potius existimo versum unum vel plures excidisse, ubi Sardium praefectus, fortasse Mitragathes vel Arceus, nominaretur.
νωμῶν, ὅ, τ᾽ ἐσθλὸς Ἀριόμαρδος...
Σάρδεσι πένθος παρασχών.
Expleat hiatum, si potest, sagax lector; sed id simul curet, ut verbum
Ἀριόμαρδος
vocalis sequatur. Ipse postea sic explevit,
νωμῶν, ὅ,τ᾽ ἐσθλὸς Ἀριόμαρδος *Σαρδέων
βολαῖσι πιστός, Μιτραγάθης τε* Σάρδεσι
πένθος παρασχών.
Sed nomen proprium, ut aliis in rebus, ita hoc quoque in genere idoneam excusationem suppeditat. Repugnantia autem illa circa patriam Ariomardi nulla prorsus est, si scholiastam, recte et prudenter monentem, audire voles. Nam, ut satis ex Herodoto intelligi potest, non suis quisque popularibus erat praefectus, nisi qui inferioris ordinis duces erant, uti VII. 96. 97. narrat, sed ut quisque apud regem vel generis propinquitate vel gratia dignissimus censebatur, ita ei alia atque alia committebatur provincia. Quamobrem etsi Herodotus VII. 67. 68. duos in exercitu Persarum memorat Ariomardos, tamen Aeschylum, qui nullo eos nomine distinguit, sed semper ut de uno loquitur, unum eundemque ubique in mente habuisse certissimum est. Qui si Sardibus natus Aegyptiis praefuit, tantum abest ut non recte dicatur Sardibus luctuosus obisse, ut, si haec esset repugnantia, simul duo alii loci in eandem vitii suspicionem inciderent. Nam ipse ille quem Porsonus commemorat Arceus vel Arcteus, qui v. 45. dux vocatur Lydorum qui Sardibus advenerant, v. 306. dicitur
πηγαῖς Νείλου γειτονῶν Αἰγυπτίου
. Non videtur enim dubitari posse quin utroque loco de eodem viro sermo sit. Susiscanes autem, ab Nilo secundum v. 35. profectus, infra v. 934.
Βάτανα
dicitur reliquisse. Quare maneat posthac Aeschyli Ariomardo et imperium Aegyptiorum et patria Sardes.

Der schwarze Bart färbte sich im Blute rot. Vgl. 539. πορφυρᾶ βαφῇ d. i. βαφῇ αἵματος. Vgl. Hom. 141. – Μᾶγος entweder weil in der Zeit des Äschylos die Quantität noch nicht festgestellt war, oder weil Äschylos den medischen Volksstamm (Herod. I 101. Strab. XVII p. 727. Plin. n. h.
