τὸ τρῶμα ἀνέλαβον, ‘retrieved the disaster’; cf. vii. 231, viii. 109. 2; Diod. xvi. 19. In view of these passages it is unlikely that τὸ τρῶμα is governed by μετά, and ἀνέλαβον, intrans., ‘recovered’.

Πηδάσῳ (cf. Πηδασέες, vi. 20 ad fin.) is placed by Kiepert at Karaja Hissar. Cf. Liv. xxxiii. 30, and especially Strabo (611) Πήδασον δὲ καὶ ἐν τῇ νῦν Στρατονεικέων πολίχνιόν ἐστι. But Strabo distinguishes from this little place, Pedasa, once a great city, the centre of a district Pedasis (cf. Plin. N. H. v. 107), above Halicarnassus, placed by Myres (J. H. S. xvi. 192-4) at Giuk Chalar. Cf. i. 175; viii. 104.

Μύρσος Γύγεω: cf. iii. 122. 1. Presumably a Mermnad (cf. i. 7 n. and vii. 27. 1 n.).

Ἡρακλείδης. The recently discovered fragment of Sosylus, a Spartan who taught Hannibal Greek (Polyb. iii. 20. 5; Nepos, Han. 13), alleges that Heraclides won a victory at Artemisium, defeating the Phoenician διεκπλοῦς by having a second line in reserve ready to attack them as soon as they had penetrated the first line. Whether this refers to the well-known battle (Wilcken, Hermes, xli. 103 f., xlii. 512), or to some unknown combat during the Ionic revolt (Rühl, Rhein. Mus. lxi. 352 f.), cannot be determined (Tarn, J. H. S. xxviii. 216). Munro (C. A. H. iv. 289) holds that Heraclides helped the Massaliots to defeat the Carthaginians off the Iberian Artemisium (Dianium).

Ἰβανώλλιος: cf. ch. 37. 1.
