2. ὀρθῶς ἐφάνησαν ἐγνω- κότες, it appeared (later) that they had judged rightly (ἐγνώκασιν): cf. § 215.14.—οὔτε...οὐδὲν οὐδ̓: a remarkable accumulation of emphatic negatives: οὔτε corresponds to τε (5). 3. οὐδ᾽ ἀδίκως, (not) even unjustly. 5. δίς τε...πρώτας, when you twice stood in line with them in the earliest encounters: some cognate object is implied in συμπαραταξάμενοι. All MSS. except Σ add μάχας, as if μαχεσάμενοι had preceded. The natural accus. would be παρατάξεις, following the meaning of συμπαραταξάμενοι and so signifying battle array or battles. See Aesch. III. 151, ἐπὶ τὴν παράταξιν ὥρμησαν. 6. τήν τ᾽ ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ, the river battle, probably fought on the upper Cephisus, which flows through Phocis before it enters Boeotia near Chaeronea.—τὴν χειμερινὴν, the “winter battle,” probably fought on some wintry day in the hilly parts of Phocis. Many still find chronological difficulties in this winter campaign, forgetting that the only trouble arose from the spurious decree in §§ 181— 187, dated in midsummer. See notes on §§ 152.8 and 181—187, with Hist. § 65. 9. παρὰ μὲν τῶν ἄλλων ὑμῖν is in strong (double) antithesis to παρὰ δ᾽ ὑμῶν τοῖς θεοῖς.
