2. κατά—opposite.
6. ἐξίησι—of water discharging into the sea only in Thuc. and Herod. until Polybius. These geographical details remind us of a similar passage in 2.102. Mr. Forbes thinks that Thuc. mentions the city because there was no town, but only a roadstead at Chimerium. But in the facts that follow there is no special significance, and it is more likely that we have here a trace of the manner of the logographers. Thuc., like them, is not averse to imparting information ‘by the way.’
8. ἐσβάλλει — the ordinary word in Attic in this sense is ἐμβάλλει.
10. ἔχει—sc. ἡ λίμνη.
ῥεῖ—sc. ἐνταῦθα.
13. τῆς ἠπείρου—partitive with a verb, as in ἅλλῃ τῆς πόλεως, etc.
