85. {kithonas}: there is some probability in the suggestion of {kitarias} here, for we should expect mention of a head-covering, and the word {kitaris} (which is explained to mean the same as {tiara}), is quoted by Pollux as occurring in Herodotus. 86. {kithonas}. 87. {drepana}, "reaping-hooks," cp. v. 112. 88. See i. 171. 89. {Pelasgoi Aigialees}. 90. {kerkouroi}. 91. {makra}: some MSS. and editions have {smikra}, "small." 92. Or "Mapen." 93. Or "Seldomos." 94. {metopedon}. 95. {me oentes arthmioi}. This is generally taken to mean, "unless they were of one mind together"; but that would very much weaken the force of the remark, and {arthmios} elsewhere is the opposite of {polemios}, cp. vi. 83 and ix. 9, 37. Xerxes professes enmity only against those who had refused to give the tokens of submission. |
