καθίστασθαι—notice the pres. and contrast I. 36 καλῶς κεῖται (of Corcyra) τοῦ παράπλου (the voyage to Sicily). quod fit non est, sed erit, says Stahl. The gen. τοῦ πολέμου depends on the phrase, on the analogy of χρησίμως, καλῶς ἔχει, ὡς ἔχει etc. ἡ πόλις is, of course, the colony to be. τῆς ἐπὶ Θρᾴκης παρόδου—it was from Heraclea that Brasidas started on his dash through Thessaly, to the great injury of Athens in Chalcidice (τὰ ἐπὶ Θρᾀκης). τό τε ξύμπαν—summing up.
