οἱ Πεισιστρατίδαι: i. e. after 527 and before 510, or, if the plural be pressed, before the death of Hipparchus 514 B. C. (v. 55).

ἄλλῳ λόγῳ: ch. 103.


ἐπιτιμέων: paying honour to the dead; so perhaps τἀπίτιμια, Aesch. Sept. c. Theb. 1021; Soph. El. 915.

οἱ δὲ Χερσονησῖται ... δυναστεύοντες. Probably Aeolic immigrants in the towns, the tyranny resting on the native Dolonci. For δυναστεύω cf. ch. 35 n.

συλληπηθησόμενοι, ‘to mourn with him’ (ix. 94. 1); cf. συνάχθεσθαι (viii. 142. 3). For the practice cf. 2 Sam. x. 1. Olorus may have been a prince of the Dolonci, or the name of his tribe may have fallen out of the text after Θρηίκων. Olorus, father of Thucydides, seems to have been a son of Hegesipyle, probably by a second marriage. Thucydides' monument was among the tombs of the family of Cimon (Plut. Cim. 4 and Marcellinus, quoting Polemo on the Acropolis).
