23. εὐεργέτης—by some official act, probably in some dispute with another state, according to Plutarch with Corinth. In all such decrees of honour conferred on a ξένος a clause giving him ἀσυλία was contained; and on this clause Them. relied.
23. αὐτῶν—the Corcyreans; for this idiom cf. c. 34. 4.
26. ἀπεχθέσθαι —ἐχθρὸς (leg. ἐχθροὺς）γενέσθαι (Schol.). The MSS. ἀπέχθεσθαι assumes a pres. form ἀπέχθομαι: similarly in vii. 75 ABEFM give αίσθεσθαι as from αίσθομαι, but CG have αἰσθέσθαι: in Eur. Phoen. 300 the MSS. have θίγειν as from θίγω（θιγγάνω). But that these only oceur in forms that may be aorists is very suspicious: with other such double forms—e.g. αὔξω beside αὐξάνω—the indic. forms occur.
28. κατὰ πύστιν ᾗ χ.—in accordance with inquiry as to the road he took. The opt. is iterative.
