Thucydides, Vol. 6

Excerpt from Thucydides

This edition of the Sixth Book of Thucydides is based upon Steup's revision' of Classen's edition, Berlin, 1905. The vari ations from the text of the classen-steup edition chie?y res torations of Ms. Readings are explained in the notes. The exegetical notes of the German edition have been followed for the most part, but with a more independent attitude than was maintained in Books III and VII. Next to the steup-classen notes, those of Stahl, boehme-widmann, and Krueger have been most often drawn upon; but Mueller, Bloomfield, and Arnold have also been regularly consulted, and Marchant's and Spratt's commentaries, which have been at hand in the last stages of the work, would have proved more helpful had they been always consulted from the outset. Valuable suggestions have come from J owett's translation and notes as well as from other sources. Hude's text has been consulted at every step. Per haps the tendency has been to regard more and more matter as common property, but the editor has been at least always ready to acknowledge especial indebtedness where it was due.
