3. ὑπὸ τοῦτον τὸν ἥλιον, as we say, under the Sun (poetic). See Il. v. 267, ὅσσοι ἔασιν ὑπ᾽ ἠῶ τ̓ ἠέλιόν τε: Od. XV. 349, ζώουσιν ὑπ᾽ αὐγὰς ἠελίοιο. 4. ἀθῷος, unharmed: cf. § 125.1, where we have the original meaning, free from θωή, penalty, as in XXIII. 78, ταύτης μὲν (δίκης) ἀθῷος ἀφίεται, he is acquitted. 5. δυναστείας: see §§ 67.2, 3, 322.7, with notes. 8. πάντων γεγενῆσθαι, has fallen to the lot of us all: πάντων refers to all the Athenians, opposed to τῶν μηδεπώποτ᾽ ἰδόντων ἐμέ in § 271.1. He might admit (he implies) that his own fortune had extended to Athens, were it not that foreign states had suffered the same ill fortune.
