Abstract

May a reader of Mr. Herbert Richards' Thucydidea briefly defend the manuscript reading in this familiar passage ? In the October issue of the Classical Quarterly (vii. 245) Mr. Richards suggests καì πολλοὺσ ἰδών in place of καì αὐτ⋯ς ἰδών. He says, ‘The second aὐróς is very pointless, and a πoλλoὐς seems wanted. We do not need to be told that he saw them himself, and hardly that he did see them; that he saw many is worth mentioning.
