44.
18. τῇ μὲν προτέρᾳ — temporal, like μάχῃ τῇ πρώτῃ vii. 11. ἐν δὲ τῇ ὑστεραίᾳ（ἐκκλησίᾳ) must mean in the assembly held on the following day, according to the meaning of such adjs. in -αῖος. Cobet read ὑστέρᾳ, in the subsequent assembly. We must assume that the assembly met on the next day when a debate was adjourned (and this seems to be the meaning of καὶ δίς). There is no evidence.
23. σφίσιν=τοῖς Κερκυραίοις. αὐτοῖς =τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις.
ἐκέλευον ... ἐλύοντ᾽ ἄν—the condition expressed from the point of view of Thuc. himself (Forbes).
25. ἐπιμαχίαν—a defensive (ξυμμαχία, an offensive and defensive) alliance.
26. τῇ ἀλλήλων—c. 15. 2.
[2]
1. καὶ ὥς—i.e. even if they rejected the Corcyrean request altogether. ὥς=οὕτως often after καί, ἀλλ᾽ , οὐδ᾽, μήδ᾽.
6. ναυτικὸν ἔχουσιν—to be regarded as one word. Hence the insertion of τοῖς before ναυτικόν is unnecessary.
[3]
8. ἐν παράπλῳ—contrast the construction at c. 36. 2.
