ἡμέραι δὲ . . ἑαλωκυίᾳ—lit. ‘M. now reekoned seven days’; cf. I. 13, 4, Herod. II. 145 Ἡρακλέϊ ὅσα φασὶ ἐ̂ναι ἔτεα ἐς Ἄμασιν, Xen. Hell. II. 1, 27 ἡμέρα ἦν πέμπτη ἐπιπλέουσι τοῖς Αθηναίοις. The insertion of μάλιστα even with small numbers is a mannerism of Thuc. ἐκ τῶν παρόντων—‘under the circumstances.’
Commentary on Thucydides Book 3. E.C. Marchant. London. MacMillan & Company. 1909.
