References

page 100 note 1 9. 76; translation of G. C. Macaulay, slightly modified.

page 100 note 2 The words in brackets are inferred from the text of Herodotus, but not found in it. In v. 3 τος οῠτε δαιμνων (Herodotus) points prima facie to τος ogr; δαιμοων. But it is doubtful whether, even for metrical convenience, δαιμνιον could be used at this date (circ. 475 B.C.): ρων was suggested to me by Sir R. C. Jebb. Possible also are ἀντιθων and μιθων: see L. and Sc.s. vv.

page 102 note 1 Note the simple but significant suggestion that the herald took ‘the quickest way’. It is uncertain whether Xerxes was then in Thessaly at all.
