page 3 note 7 Lines of circumvallation might be made defensible. The Athenians themselves, during two whole years, made no attempt on the fortified lines drawn round Plataea.

page 4 note 1 In arriving at the general considerations advanced in this and the preceding paragraph I am much indebted to the suggestions of Mr. G. T. Griffith and Mr. Hammond. Mr. Hammond urged-the difficulties that would attend an єпιтєιx03C7;ισμός, Mr. Griffith underlined the need fora clear margin of military superiority.

page 5 note 6 Thucydides v. 17. 2. As the reason given was ὃπως οἱ Ἀθηναῖοι μ⋯λλον ⋯igma;ακοιην, it is hard to see what else than an ⋯πιτειχισμ⋯ς in Attica was announced.

page 5 note 7 The word єпιтєιx03C7;ισις is one of those verbal nouns of which Thucydides is fond. If he made a distinction between this and єпιтєιx03C7;ισμός,єпιтєιx03C7;ισις may indicate a process,єпιтєιx03C7;ισις a result. Butthis distinction is not clearly borne out by his use of the two words wherethey occur.

page 6 note 2 Professor Gomme in his Commentary on Thucydides, I, p. 418, has pointed out that the Persian use of Thebes may be regarded as ‘an instance of єпιтєιx03C7;ισμός in another form’. A parallel to this would be the Athenian use of Catana as a half-way house to Syracuse in the Sicilian expedition.
