Woodhouse (J. H. S. xviii. 54) holds that Amompharetus was left behind with a rear-guard to cover the retreat of the right wing, and perhaps also of the Athenians who were evidently still trailing across the plain at sunrise (Munro, J. H. S. xxiv. 164). He retreated slowly (βάδην) only just in front of the Persian cavalry (§ 3).

περιείχετο, ‘kept on insisting’ that they should stay where they were (Macan).

ἰθέῃ τέχνῃ: outright; cf. ch. 37. 4.
