Thucydides unanimously say that [this
e)a/n spelling occurs] when
h)\ ["or"] precedes it, but that when [the words] are not in this order he uses the contraction [
h)/n]. In the second [sc. book there is an example of the first of these phenomena]: "or if the enemy [does not] attack with a fleet".[1] "Or, if forced to, [the demos becomes] hostile to the rebels."[2]

Notes:
Also in
Photius s.v. The force of the distinction claimed is somewhat spoiled by inaccurate quotation: see the notes below.
[1]
Thucydides 2.24.1 - where, however, there is not only a negative omitted here but no preceding "or"; and the transmitted texts have the contracted form anyway.
[2]
Thucydides 3.47.2 -- but with nominative singular
pole/mios rather than the Suda's
polemi/ois (dative agreeing with "rebels"); the correct version is translated here.
