Photius pi1061 Theodoridis; and cf. the
scholia to the
Thucydides passage about to be quoted.

Thucydides 7.27.2, on events of 413 BCE:
Dekeleia in northern Attica (cf.
delta 191) had been fortified and garrisoned by the Peloponnesians, but Thracian mercenary peltasts -- the 'them' of this passage -- were too expensive a defence (at a drachma a day) against this.
[4] Dative plural of the same adjective. It is glossed as in the
scholia to
Thucydides 1.10.2, where it occurs; see also 2.65.2, 6.31.3.
