page 201 note 1 Ros, J., Die Βɛταβολή, Variatio ah Stilprinzip bei Thukydides (Paderborn, 1938), pp. 88Google Scholar ff. discusses these phenomena of coordination but does not suggest that vii. 76 is in any way abnormal.

I take βουλόμενοι as referring primarily to the content of the messages—‘showing eagerness’—and not simply as giving the reason why they urged him to come.

page 201 note 4 The united paradosis often presents us with a nonsensical τε, and individual manuscripts in the lower reaches of the stemma breed τε in abundance. Thucydides' own fondness for τε and the complex structure and difficulty of his sentences are presumably the reason.

page 202 note 5 Those of Danielsson's instances which clearly require this translation exhibit μᾶλλόντι and not τι μᾶλλος. To judge from passages where they bear other meanings, it seems to me that which of the two is written depends on the structure of the word-group which contains it; before we can assert or deny that Thucydides could have written τι μᾶλλον in vii. 76, we need to know more about the analysis of the Greek sentence into word groups than we know as yet.
