19. εὐθύς—in autumn of 479.
ὅθεν = ἐκεῖθεν οἷ. Cf. Soph. Trach. 701 ἐκ δὲ γῆς ὅθεν | προύκειτ᾽, ἀναζέουσι, from the earth where it was strewn, for ὅπου. The omission of antecedent before ὅθεν is not very rare; e.g 2.94 τροπαῖον ἔστησαν ὅθεν ἀναγαγόμενοι ἐκράτησαν, for ἐνταῦθα ὅθεν. The places are Salamis, Troezen and Aegina.
21. κατασκευήν—stock, goods, of all kinds.
22. ἀνοικοδομεῖν—in the autumn of 479.
24. βραχέα—only a small remnant, of the wall round the city left by the Persians.
