51. Or, according to some MSS., "the Persian land." 52. Lit. "the name of which happens to be Agora." 53. i.e. 1,700,000. 54. {sunnaxantes}: a conjectural emendation very generally adopted of {sunaxantes} or {sunapsantes}. 55. {apageas}, i.e. not stiffly standing up; the opposite to {pepeguias} (ch. 64). 56. {lepidos siderees opsin ikhthueideos}: many Editors suppose that some words have dropped out. The {kithon} spoken of may have been a coat of armour, but elsewhere the body armour {thorex} is clearly distinguished from the {kithon}, see ix. 22. 57. {gerra}: cp. ix. 61 and 102. 58. Cp. i. 7. 59. {mitrephoroi esan}: the {mitre} was perhaps a kind of turban. 60. {tesi Aiguptiesi}, apparently {makhairesi} is meant to be supplied: cp. ch. 91. 61. {eklethesan}, "were called" from the first. 62. These words are by some Editors thought to be an interpolation. |
