CHAPTER LXXXII

τότε δ᾽ οὔν—δ᾽ οὖν like ceterum, is perpetually used to resume the narrative after a digression, frequently after a very short one: i. 3, οἱ δ᾽ οὖν ὡς ἔκαστοι Ἔλληνες.

ποιοῦνται—i. 28, φίλους ποιεῖσφαι: so ξυμμάχους etc.

παρόδου—the same word is used ch. 108, 5: so in iii. 92 the situation of Heraclea was considered τῆς ἐπὶ Θρᾴκης παρόδου χρησίμως ἕξειν. Part of the route at any rate was a ‘passage along’ the coast.

φυλακἡν πλέονα—‘a closer watch’; they do not appear to have despatched any fresh troops as yet; see ch. 108, 37.
