Notes:
[1] Same glossing in the
scholia to
Thucydides (see next note).
[2] An appoximation of
Thucydides 3.85.3 (web address 1 below): the aorist participle
e)mprh/santes ('having burned') becomes the finite
e)neprh/santo ('they burned') here, and the word order is also changed (the original runs
kai\ ta\ ploi=a e)mprh/santes).
