Extract

Herakleides, fr. 3I (Muller F.H.G. ii. p. 222, with his note):

ACP et margo p; om.reliqui.

Elymnion, according to Stephanos, was The name occurs in Aristophanes {Peace, 1126) in a context which points to the neighbourhood of Oreos. There is no evidence to connect it immediately with Chalkis. Mela (II. 2. 30) mentions an Echinia near Akanthos: ' inter Strymona et Athon Turris Calarnaea et portus Capru, urbs Acanthos et Echinia.' Confusion of A and X is easy. Thus, even if the first sentence has no ol, the passage gives no safe evidence that these settlers came to Kleonai from Chalkis, or from Euboea. Such a derivation would be hard to reconcile with Thucydides' account of the towns on Akte. If oί is right, cadit quaestio.

page 166 note 3 The only alternative is to suppose that Strabo thought of Olynthos as above these other towns either because it stood on a height, or because it lay inland from them (which is possibly, though not necessarily, the point of Thucydides' , i. 58. 2). But the number and area of the towns that could properly be said to lie under Olynthos in either sense would be small for example, they could not include Torone, Assera, or Arnai.

page 167 note 2 But the number is suspiciously close to the thirty-two towns which Philip, according to Demosthenes (Hi. Phil. 26), destroyed in 348.

page 168 note 1 heradidarum C, a variant doubtless connected somehow with a story found in one of the Socratic Epistles (Hercher, REpistolographi Graeci, p. 630 f.), how the land of Olynthos and Amphipolis (which the author seems to confuse), Pallene, and the land of Torone, were won by Herakles and given in trust to certain persons for his descendants to resume. Some critics ascribe this letter to Speusippos (see F. Susemihl Gesch. d. gr. Litt. in der Alexandrinerzeit ii. pp. 586 sqq.). I will not debate the question, since this letter yields no new evidence on my main point.Google Scholar

The infinitive of εíμí occurs thrice: METEINAI, EHEINAI, and EI at the end of a line, followed by τňς. The editors read elcai in this last place also, but it looks from the elcai in this last place also, but it looks from the long. Can this be another example of εíν?

Okolon, though it does not appear in the tribute-lists, was perhaps another such Eretrian settlement F. Geyer in W. Sieglin's Quellen u. Forschungen zur alten Geschichte u.

page 172 note 1 Thuc. i. 107. 2 is instructive: Clearly he regards the three townlets as coherent parts of a tribal whole. Cf. iii. 92. 3, and vi. 2. 3: How little size or independence is necessarily implied in is shewn by iii. 101. 2, (in Ozolian Lokris).

page 172 note 2 So among the barbarian Amphilochoi the size and position of Argos brought it soonest under Greek influence, and distinguished it more or less from the rest of the tribe (Thuc. ii. 68). So in the time of Philip an outlying body of Chalkidians held Amphipolis, and stood apart from their kinsmen; whence the latter perhaps came to be distinguished as in CIA II. 105, See R. von Scala Staatsverträge i. p. 200.

page 172 note 3 Smith's, Diet, of Greek and Roman Geogr. says that Aineia ‘was colonised by the Cor inthians (Scymnus Ch. 627).’ This is a mistake. Skymnos says nothing of the sort.Google Scholar

page 172 note 4 Thuc. iv. 109. For the juxtaposition of Greeks and barbarians in the same town compare Emporiai in Spain (Strabo iii. 4. 8, p. 160; Livy xxxiv. 9) and perhaps Naples and Syracuse (W. E. Heitland The Roman Republic § 187). Kleonai was perhaps predominantly Chalkidi see Herakleides (above).

page 174 note 1 Such canting derivations are common enough. Here is one which involves Chalkis. Hesych. Miles, vi. 21: (See Hdt. 144, Thuc. iv. 75. 2.) The legend of the foundation of Euboia near Edessa in Macedon (Strabo x. p. 449) probably belongs to the same class; so, perhaps, does the claim of Pallenian Skione to be derived from Pellene. The coincidence of name which I suppose is not very strange. is a word of several meanings, a bird, a fish, a lizard; from any of these, or from something else, the tribal name may have been formed. For the termination compare etc.; , the , real or supposed, of (Steph. Byz and on a coin from ‘the Pangaean district’ (Head H.N 2 p. 195). suggests a further analogy, but I had better not speak of totems. The legend of the Giants, common to Pallene and to the neighbourhood of Chalkidic Kyme. may have helped.
