ξεινίην ... προεῖτε: not here ‘imperavit hospitia’ (cf. ch. 119. 1, 120. 2), but declared them his sworn friends, as is shown by the context and by ch. 29. 2; viii. 120.

ἐσθῆτι Μηδικῇ: cf. iii. 84. 1.

τὸ ὄρυγμα ἀκούων. Either (1) ἀκούων must be excised (Krüger) or emended (Hude), or (2) something must be inserted, e.g. (Gomperz Stud. Her. ii. 65) σπεύδοντας before ἀκούων. The Acanthians naturally took part in digging the canal (ch. 22).
