107 [ i.e. 60,000.]
10701 [ {ton Potneion}, i.e. either the Eumenides or Demeter and Persephone.]

109 [ {neokhmon an ti poieein}.]
110 [ {pheme eseptato}.]
111 [ {eteralkea}, cp. viii. 11.]
112 [ {ton Perseon}: perhaps we should read {ek ton Perseon}, "appointed by the Persians to guard the pa.s.ses."]
113 [ {ti neokhmon poieoien}.]
114 [ {ten kephalen smatai}: the meaning is uncertain.]

118 [ {estergon ta pareonta}.]
119 [ {ekpheugonta}: many Editors have {ekphugonta}, "after he had escaped."]

121 [ {oi}: some Editors approve the conjecture {moi}, "impose upon myself this penalty."]
122 [ {sanidas}: some read by conjecture {sanidi}, or {pros sanida}: cp. vii. 33.]
