Notes on the current edition

Library

1. The soothsayer was Carnus, an Acarnanian; the Dorians continued to propitiate the soul of the murdered seer after his death. See Paus. 3.13.4 ; Conon 26 ; Scholiast on Theocritus v.83 .
2. That is, by the angry spirit of the murdered man.
3. With this and what follows compare Paus. 5.3.5ff. ; Suidas, s.v. Τριόφθαλμος ; and as to Oxylus, compare Strab. 8.3.33 . Pausanias calls Oxylus the son of Haemon.
4. The homicide is said to have been accidental; according to one account, the victim was the homicide's brother. See Paus. 5.3.7 . As to the banishment of a murderer for a year, see note on Apollod. 2.5.11 .
5. Pausanias gives a different account of the death of Tisamenus. He says that, being expelled from Lacedaemon and Argos by the returning Heraclids, king Tisamenus led an army to Achaia and there fell in a battle with the Ionians, who then inhabited that district of Greece. See Paus. 2.18.8 , Paus. 7.1.7ff.
