[349] Ar.'s variant “ἔκτοθι τάφρον” better suits the view that the trench was some distance in front of the wall; see note on 8.213. But it looks rather like a conjecture. For the σκόλοπες see 12.55, where they are “ὕπερθεν”. Hence no doubt the variant “περί”. But ἐν is elsewhere used in this connexion, 7.441 and even 12.63.
