Cf. c. 2, 4. οὐκέτι—again there is irony in the narrative. Cf. c. 80, 1. Σαλαμῖνος—first for emphasis. Cf. c. 7, 2, 11, 2. ὁρῶν— cf. c. 55, 1. νεῶν τ. φυλακή—cf. c. 69, 1. ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῦ has a slightly different meaning with φυλακή, as though it were περὶ αὐτό. With φρούριον ἐπὶ τοῦ ἀκρωτηρίου contrast τροπαῖον ἐπὶ τῇ ἄκρᾳ VIII. 106. See c. 80, 2.
