3. μήτε...διιέντων, i.e. εἰ μήτε Θετταλοὶ ἀκολουθοῖεν μήτε Θηβαῖοι διιεῖεν: Philip depended on Thessalian troops to fill his army, but he would have been satisfied with Thebes (under the circumstances) if she had merely made no objection to his marching through Boeotia to attack Athens. There was probably a coolness already between Thebes and Philip, which appears later when Thebes refused to attend the Amphictyonic meeting in the autumn of 339 B.C. (See Aesch. III. 128.) See Hist. § 57, for these relations. 5. ὁποιουσδήποθ̓: here relative, while generally relative forms with οὖν and δήποτε are indefinite. See τοὺς ὁποιουστινασοῦν in VIII. 20, and ὅτου δήποτε ἕνεκα in § 21.10 (above). 7. τῶν ὑπαρχόντων ἑκατέροις, of the relative resources of each, i.e. of his own inferiority in resources, especially in naval power. See Thuc. I. 141.8, where Pericles speaks of the comparative resources of Athens and her enemies: τὰ δὲ τοῦ πολέμου καὶ τῶν ἑκατέροις ὑπαρχόντων ὡς οὐκ ἀσθενέστερα ἕξομεν.
