1. ἄν is repeated with ᾤκουν (3), contrary to general usage, because of the change of time from ἐκέχρητ᾽ ἂν to ᾤκουν (present time).

7. λέγε καὶ ἀνάγνωθι: cf. § 28.1.

8. βοηθειῶν: forces sent out for special purposes, like those mentioned in § 302.2: see IV. 32, μὴ βοηθείαις πολεμεῖν (ὑστεριοῦμεν γὰρ ἁπάντων) ἀλλὰ παρασκευῇ συνεχεῖ καὶ δυνάμει, and cf. IV. 41. The famous expedition which checked Philip at Thermopylae in 352 B.C. (IV. 17) is called a βοήθεια in XIX. 84. Often βοήθεια means a mere raid.
