ἐλέγετε. H. does not ascribe such a saying directly to the Aleuadae, though they may be included in the phrase (48. 1) ὑπὸ τῶν τῇδε ἀνθρώπων. From a Persian point of view they might be regarded as neighbours of Sparta. For this boast of the Spartans cf. vii. 104. 4, 5, 209, 234; ix. 53.

ἐναπεδεικνύατο. Stein would supply an object (e. g. ἔργα, ἀρετάς), but the middle may have the force of ‘approved themselves’, se ostentabant.
