[383] ἑκάστας: supply “πύλας” from “ἑκατόμπυλοι”. The majority of MSS. give the singular; Ar. supported the plur. on the ground that H. always uses the plural of a single gate — this in connexion with his view that there was only one gate to the Greek camp, see on 12.120, 340. ἀνά distributive, 200 to each. In a late interpolation we need not trouble about the neglected “ϝ” of “ἑκάστας”.
