ἐπὶ τῆς ἐσβολῆς—to the pass that led to Ambracia. διὰ τῶν Ἀμφιλοχικῶν ὀρῶν—i.e. inland, among the hills, in order to stop up the roads. ἅμα ὄρθρῳ—the time between first cock-crow and the dawn: ὄρθρος ἐστὶν ἡ ὥρα τῆς νυκτὸς καθ᾽ ἢν ἀλεκτρυόνες ᾁδουσιν. ἄρχεται δὲ ἑνάτης ὥρας (circa 2 A.M.) καὶ τελευτᾷ εἰς διαγελῶσαν ἡμἐραν (Phrynichus).
