3 West, CP XIX (1924), 201.

4 See Beloch, GG2 II: 2, 261–264.

5 If D. M. Lewis (JHS LXXXI [1961], 119), R. Sealey (Essays, 104), and Fornara (Athenian Board of Generals, 57–58) are right in thinking that Nicias was re-elected for 426/5, the argument against a victory for the war party is even stronger.

6 3.86.5.

7 The account is distributed chronologically in 3.86, 88, 90, 99, 103, 115, 4.1, 24–25, 58–65, and 5.4–5. The account of Diodorus 12.54 and that of a papyrus fragment, possibly by Philistus (FGrH 3B, 577), add only a little to our knowledge.

8 E. A. Freeman, History of Sicily III, (Oxford, 1894), 29–30, wrote: “It is perhaps vain to ask what was the plan of campaign. There was most likely none. They came to search out the land, to see what could be done, and to do whatever might come within their power.” Westlake says the Athenian strategy was improvised on the spot, “with the object of supporting their allies and damaging their enemies wherever opportunity offered” (Essays, 117 and n. 53. Cf., however, H. Wentker, Sizilien und Athen, (Heidelberg, 1956), 113–117.

9 FGrH 3B, 577, 2. Thucydides does not mention the campaign except to say that Charoeades was killed in a battle with the Syracusans (3.90.2).

10 See Map 6.

11 This is suggested by Busolt, GG III: 2, 1056–57.

12 3.88, 115.1.

13 FGrH 3B, 577, 2; Diod. 12.54.4; Thucydides does not mention this incident.

14 3.90.1.

15 90.2–4; Diod. 13.54.4–5.

16 3.103.1.

17 For the location of Inessa see Gomme HCT II, 413; for its significance see Wentker, Sizilien Und Athen, 114.

18 3.103.3 and 115.1

19 3.115.3.

20 4.1.2.

21 3.115.4.

22 3.115.5–6.

23 For a good discussion of the Athenian motives see Westlake, Essays, 110–112.

24 3.89.1.

25 Beloch, GG2 1:2, 176–177.

26 Beloch. GG2 II:2, 322–323; he is followed by Adcock, CAH V, 226–227. and West. CP XIX (1924), 204

27 646–654.

28 See above, pp. 82–83

29 5.16.2–3

30 5.16.1

31 5.16.1; 19.2.

32 4.117; 119.2.

33 Gomme HCT, III, 664.

34 Adcock, CAH V, 127.

35 GG2 II:2, 322–323.

36 3.92.1. The establishment of this colony and its significance are generally given little attention. For an excellent understanding of the situation see Busolt, GG III:2, 1064–1065.

37 3.92.4.

38 Such is the suggestion of Busolt, GG III:2, 1064, and Gomme, HCT II, 395, among others…

39 For a good discussion of the problems and opportunities presented by a Thracian campaign see Brunt, Phoenix XIX (1965), 273–275.

40 3.92.5; Gomme HCT II, 395. Diodorus (12.59) says the colony consisted of 4,000 Peloponnesians and 6,000 others. Beloch (Bevölkerung, 512) rightly argues that these figures are impossibly large.

41 GG III:2, 1065. For the location of the city see Thuc. 3.92.6, Gomme, HCT II, 394–398.

42 3.93.3.

43 3.91; see also Diod. 12.65.1–5.

44 2.9.5.

45 589; Diod 12.65.3.

46 Tribute: ATL I, 285, III, 336; indemnity: ATL II, 52 = D8, 11.21–25, III, 336. Thucydides does not mention the conquest of Thera.

47 3.91.2; 5.84.2. Although there is a great debate over the neutrality of Melos before the Athenian attack in 416 no one, not even the severest critic of Thucydides’ account, Max Treu, Historia II (1952–1953), 253–273, doubts its neutrality in 426.
