τοιαῦτα—i.e. comparatively insignificant, οὐ μεγάλα.
χαλεπὰ ὄντα—though it is difficult to trust every piece of evidence as put forward in the traditions about them. This is the personal construction for χαλεπὸν ὂν παντὶ ἑξῆς τ. π. The clause is amplified in what follows, and does not refer to what has preceded. πᾶν ἑξῆς=‘every one without exception.’
22. ἀκοάς—accounts.
24. σφίσιν—the indirect reflexive, which, as regularly used in subord. sentences, refers to subject of principal sentence. But later writers generally use ἑαυτούς etc. as both indirect and direct reflex.
ὁμοίως—as events that did not occur in their own place.
Commentary on Thucydides Book 1. E. C. Marchant. 1905. London. MacMillan and Company, Ltd.
