15. ἐν ἀπόρῳ εἴχοντο —ἔχεσθαι ἐν πολλῇ ἀπορίᾳ occurs in Antiphon v. 16, Lys. xiii. 11; εἶναι ἐν ἀπόρῳ Thuc. 3.22. The ordinary phrase is ἐν（πολλῇ）ἀπορίᾳ εἶναι.
16. θέσθαι τὸ παρόν—how to arrange the matter.
18. εἰ παραδοῖεν—oblique for the delib. subjunct.
19. τιμωρίαν τινὰ ποιεῖσθαι—cf. c. 5. 1, ‘obtain help’; but the words would naturally mean to bring help (the idiom with ποιεῖσθαι). In 6.60, however, ἄδειαν ποιεῖσθαι means to obtain immunity.
20. αὐτοῖς—the Corinthians, depending on παραδοῦναι.
