ἦλθε i.e. the report of it. Cf. Dem. Ol. iii. 5, ὡς γὰρ ἠγγέλθη Φίλιππος ἀσθενῶν ἢ τεθνεώς, (ἦλθε γὰρ ἀμφότερα), κ.τ.λ. In i. 61 more correctly ἦλθε . . . ἡ ἀγγελία. So iii. 33. μεγίστη τῶν πρὶν an idiom almost too common to notice. Cf. ἀξιολογώτατον τῶν προγεγενημένων (i. 1). μεγίστην τῶν πρὸ αὐτῆς (i. 10), μέγιστον δὴ τῶν πρὶν κίνδυνον (vi. 13). Tac. Agr. 36 [34]. ceterorum Britannorum fugacissimi.
