5. ἐπειδὴ here has three pluperfects, while commonly it has the less precise aorist, as in §§ 25.1, 32.1 (M.T. 59). So in Latin postquam venit is more common than postquam venerat. Both ἐπειδή and postquam contain the idea of after that, which the plpf. only emphasizes. 6. διὰ τούτων τῶν......μισθωσάν- των (i.e. οἳ ἐμίσθωσαν): contrast διὰ τούτους οὐχὶ πεισθέντας, § 32.2, and see note.
