ἀνελκύσαντας διαψῦξαι—cf. Herod. VII. 59 τὰς νέας ἀνέψυχον ἀνελκύσαντες; Xen. Hell. I. 5.10 ἀνελκύσας τὰς ναῦς ἡσυχίαν ἦγεν ἐπισκευάζων καὶ ἀναψύχων. καὶ ἔτι πλείους—the corrective use of καί, as Demosthenes in the third Philippic, ἀπόλωλε καὶ νενόσηκεν ἡ Ἑλλάς. φανεραὶ δέ εἰσιν—cf. δῆλός εἰμι. A periphrasis of ποιῶ, εἰμι, or γίγνομαι with an adj. is very common, esp. in Herodotus. See Stein on Herod. V. 63.5 Cf. Isocr. Paneg. 122 πολλοὺς αὐτῶν ἐκδότους ἐποίησαν. μᾶλλον—i e. ἢ ἡμῖν, ellipse with the comparative being very common. ἐξουσία—the idiom ἐξουσία ἐστι or γίγνεται with plain infin. occurs frequently.
