Ταμύνας: cf. Strabo 448 ἐν δὲ τῇ Ἐρετρικῇ πόλις ἦν Ταμύναι πλησίον τοῦ Πορθμοῦ. The other places were probably dependent villages (Bähr).


ἐνέπρησαν. A distinction seems to be drawn between the enslavement of the men by order of Darius (94. 2) and this perhaps unauthorized act of vengeance. The burning of temples is not infrequent (v. 102 n.), but the motive of the war was not religious, nor should this view be attributed to H. (as by Wecklein, Ber. der bayer. Akad. (1878), 263 f.). Eretria (for whose earlier history cf. v. 99 n.) never recovered after its destruction, though it was rebuilt on the old site (American Journal of Archaeology, vii, 233 f.), and sent seven ships to Salamis (viii. 46. 2), and, with its colony Styra, 600 hoplites to Plataea (ix. 28. 5).
