One wonders what is the point of the opprobrious-sounding eVuxe oejuwrepa? T? Kar' avdpto-nov ra0rjc given that that was the norm ([X.] Lac. Pol. 15.9). Contrast (kLOiXucq Toutf in Hell. 5.3.19, Ages. 11.16. On Alcibiades a reference to R.J. Littman, Phoen. 23(1969), 269 f., might be in order. 3.3.3: was this a recycling of the oracle of Diod. 11.50? 3.3.6 n.: I doubt 'ten times'. 3.4.27: the virtually total absence of the naval war down to 394 deserves explicit notice. 4.1.2: C. evidently has some conception of what Agesilaus was at in 395/4 (since he says, dubitably, that Hell. Oxy. 21(16)-22(17) transforms it, p. 17); but he offers no comment on 4.1.2 (and cf. 4.1.34 ff.). 4.7.6 n.: Warner's 'the Laconian' is perhaps a chimera; prima facie fj Acuccouucri means 'Laconia' (as passim)— which, of course, is also puzzling. 4.8.25: a pity not to note the characteristically allusive definite article TTJC. (cf. Seager, JHS 87 (1967), 109 n. 127). 5.1.36: in view of the widespread tendency to speak loosely about the Spartans as prostatai of the King's Peace a note drawing attention to Warner's punctilious rendering of vpooTarai yap yevonevoi KT\. as 'it was they who had been the chief supporters of the King's Peace' would have been valuable. 5.4.35 n.: why no comment on 5.4.13 then? 5.4.64 n.: doubts subsist about Corcyra in view of Coleman/Bradeen, Hesp. 36 (1967), 112-14 and, 6.1.10 n., about Jason in view of Woodhead, AJA 41(1957), 367 f. (and 1 wonder about the reliability of [D.] 49.10). 6.3.2 n.: the answer to C.'s objection to my argument in LCM 2 (1977), 51 f. is that the list (Callias to Lycaethus) is 'incomplete' anyway since Callistratus is introduced in a separate sentence (and 'among the ambassadors appointed were. . . ' is perhaps a loaded translation of ijv be Ttov aipedemcov oi 8eu>a). 6.3.18 n.: the first alternative is surely correct. (C. seems to have retreated a bit since CQ N.S.22 (1972), 258). 6.5.2 n.: I very much doubt that Aesch. 2.32 belongs here. Appendix: a reference to J.K. Anderson, 'The Battle of Sardis in 395', CSCA 7 (1974), 27-54, would be opportune if only for its topographical information. The map of Asia Minor will not help the uninformed to locate Thymbrara/ Castolus/Philadelphia.
