11. τὸ πρῶτον—for the first time; see c. 95.
15. Ἑρμιονίδα—of Hermione, in Argolis.
16. ἄνευ—without the orders of; cf. c. 91. 5. ἰδίᾳ gives, in the positive form, the same sense as ἄνευ Λ.; cf. 1.119.
17. Ἑλληνικόν—national, that against Persia; if the reading is right the object is to make an antithesis with τὰ πρὸς βασιλέα π., but Ἑλληνικὸς π. generally means a war against or ‘between Greeks.’ Many edd. accept Μηδικόν (see crit. note).
19. πράσσειν—inf. of purpose; cf. 6.8. 2 ξυγκατοικίσαι Λεοντίνους. The sense of diplomatic or secret negotiation often underlies πράσσω.
20. Ἑλληνικῆς—to rule Greece.
