ἐντεταμένας: cf. vii. 34 n. According to a tradition followed by Aeschylus (cf. Pers. 734-6μονάδα δὲ Ξέρξην ἔρημόν φασιν οὐ πολλῶν μέτα”— | ἄσμενον μολεῖν γέφυραν γαῖν δυοῖν ζευκτηρίαν), the bridge was still intact, and even after Mycale the Greeks did not know it had perished (ix. 106. 4).


Hippocrates (περὶ ἀέρων 7) ascribed the greatest importance to differences in the source and taste of water, πλεῖστον γὰρ μέρος συμβάλλεται ἐς τὴν ὑγιείην.
