Λακεδαιμονίων. Strabo (653) brings the Cnidians from Megara. Tr. ‘As their territory lies towards the sea, being called Triopion, beginning from the Chersonese of Bybassia’; τό is neuter from attraction of the predicate Τριόπιον. Properly Τριόπιον is the name only of the extreme point.


οἱ Κνίδιοι takes up οἵ of § 2; but the whole section is a model of confusion. It is to be noticed that H., as a Halicarnassian, knows the Cnidian territory minutely.


The oracle, for which H. does not vouch (cf. ὡς αὐτοὶ κτλ.), looks like an ex post facto excuse for non-resistance. The isthmus still shows traces of the unfinished cutting.
