αἰσθόμενοι: see on c. 95. 21.—τό τε πρῶτον: not only the first time; c. 95. 9. ἀνεκάλεσαν: had they recalled him; though in parataxis, really a prot. to what follows. Cf. c. 126. 17; 128. 16. P. reads ἀνεκαλέσαντο with some Mss., which is less common; not used elsewhere by Thuc. in this sense. We have μεταπέμπεσθαι in c. 95. 9; 128. 8.—τῇ Ἑρμιονίδι: the art., because known from c. 128. 11. βίᾳ...ἐκπολιορκηθείς : forcibly dislodged. He was forced to retire from Byzantium, where he had established himself, c. 128. 17. We must not think of a regular siege. Κολωνάς: see Strab. xiii.1.19; Pausan. x.14.1: with the fem. noun τὰς Τρῳάδας used as adj. (cf. Ἰάς, iv.61.10; Ἑλλάς, vi.62.9, and see Kühn. 405, 1), to distinguish it from places in Phocis and Thessaly.—ἱδρυθείς: often used of troops taking up a position (cf. iii.72.8; iv.42.9; 44. 11; 131. 2), and then mostly with ἐπί with the gen. For ἐς, see on c. 87. 7.—πράσσων: and ποιούμενος in pers. const. with the pass. ἐσηγγέλλετο. Cf. iii.16.12; and see Kühn. 482, 4; 484, 17; Kr. Spr. 56, 7, 3. πρός: with, of negotiations. Cf. ii.5.32; iii.28.11; iv.68.14. As applied to a number of people, ἐς may also be used. Cf. c. 132. 21.— ἐπ᾽ ἀγαθῷ: cf. c. 34. 4; 126. 14. οὕτω δή: see on c. 49. 30.—ἐπέσχον: intr., delay. Cf. c. 90. 20; iv.78.29. See on c. 129. 15. σκυτάλην: Schol., ξύλον στρογγύλον ἐξεσμένον ἐπίμηκες, which by means of a strap wound around it and then written on, served the Spartans as a means of secret communication. Plut. Lys. 19; Nep. Paus. 3. 4; A. Gell. xvii.9.6. Pausanias was still in possession of the staff, probably as guardian of the young king Plistarchus.— εἶπον:=first ἐκέλευον and then ἀπήγγειλαν. Cf. προεῖπον, c. 26. 20.—μὴ λείπεσθαι, not to remain behind. More usual ἀπολείπεσθαι. εἰ δὲ μή : see on c. 28. 10. διαλύσειν: cf. iii.83.5; iv.118.36. διαλύεσθαι with pl. subject and reciprocal operation, c. 140. 17; 145. 6; v.80.2. ἐσπίπτει: pass. to ἐσβάλλειν, after analogy of ἐκπίπτειν, c. 2. 23; ii.27.7; iii.68.17. Cobet, Mnem. 12, p. 129 ff. τὸν βασιλέα: of course, therefore, the guardian of the king. δρᾶσαι: see on c. 5. 12. ποιεῖν is more common with a double acc.—ἔπειτα: the next step after τὸ πρῶτον; ὕστερον, after some while.— διαπραξάμενος: the object to be supplied out of the result itself (ἐξῆλθε). Cf. iii.82.66; v.89.7. Schol., διακρουσάμενος τὴν κατηγορίαν. Grote, V. chap. 44, p. 125, with the Schol., thinks by bribery. ἐξῆλθε καὶ καθίστησιν: on the change of tense, see Kühn. 386, 6.—τοῖς βουλομένοις: pl.; so in iv.118.9; usually sing.
