σχιζόμενος [ὁ] ποταμός. Since the river referred to must be the Oeroe, the article is better away. There is now no trace of such a division of the stream. The Oeroe is a small and sluggish stream, formed of brooks from Mount Cithaeron and flowing west to Creusis.

ὅσον περ, ‘as much as’ (cf. ii. 170. 2; iv. 50. 2). ὅσον τε, ‘about,’ is more Herodotean.
