μετέωροι—used similarly in II. 91.3 referring to the middle of the Corinthian Gulf. κατενεχθέντες—like καταφερομένας in c. 53.1. Contrast προσφέρεσθαι c. 70.5. The corresponding sentence in Diodorus makes this clearer: τῶν δὲ Ἀθηναίων ὄσοι μὴ μετέωροι διεφθάρησαν, ἐπεὶ πρὸς τὰ βράχη προσηνέχθησαν, ἐκπηδῶντες ἐκ τῶν νεῶν ἀπολομένων εἰς τὸ πεζὸν στρατόπεδον ἔφευγον. οὐκέτι διαφόρως—i.e. no longer with the variety of feeling mentioned above. ὁρμῆς—of passionate impulse, as in III. 36.2. οἰμωγῇ τε καὶ στόνῳ—with παρεβοήθουν. Dative of manner. See Rutherford, Syntax p. 66. δυσανασχετοῦντες—Pollux III. 130 says that this word was first used by Thuc.; it is fairly frequent in late authors τὰ γιγνόμενα—Kruger compares φθονεῖν τί τινι. τὸ λοιπὸν τοῦ τείχους=τὸ διατείχισμα. περὶ σφᾶς αὐτοὺς . . . διεσκόπουν—cf. Lycurgus 107 περὶ τοὺς ἄλλους ποιητὰς οὐδένα λόγον ἔχοντες.
