τοῖσι Μιλησίοισι. This re-appearance of the Milesians, who had all been killed or led away captive (vi. 19, 20 n.), is paralleled by that of the Eretrians who fought at Salamis (viii. 46. 2) and Plataea (ix. 28. 5), in spite of the similar fate that befell them in 490 B. C.; cf. vi. 101 n., 119. Doubtless H. exaggerated in both cases the completeness of the destruction wrought by the Persians.

The dative after κατεδόκεον, ‘whom they suspected,’ seems to be on the analogy of κατακρίνειν (cf. vii. 146. 2).

γέρρα: cf. ch. 61. 3 n.
