NOTES AND QUERIES.

293

P. 272. Opp. " as Euripides relates it " : And Isocrates, Orat. de Bigis. This happen'd not long after his Marriage, probably about Ol: 90. 1. or a little earlier.

P. 274. Opp. li Alcibiades, then a Youth " : That is, of the young Alcibiades, Son to this. See Isocr: p: 346. Ed. H. Stephani. 1593.

Opp. "when he was very young": About 30 Years old Dodwell. But this Contention, & the Ostracism of Hyperbolus (as appears from Phaeax) did not happen, till after Melos was taken, "which was the same Year. Xicias and Alcibiades were sent to Sicily. This fixes it to Ol: 91. 1.

P. 275. Opp." " written against Pheax " : Read, by Phaeax against Alcibiades ; it is still extant under the Name of Andocides, as D r Taylor has proved in his Lectiones Lysiacae.
 * 5. 6.

P. 283. Opp. " He kept Agatharcus " : See the same Oration of Phaeax.

P. 292. Opp. " Thucydides hath omitted " : See Andocides' Orat: de Mysteriis, who gives the fullest account of the affair. Also Lysias' Oration against Andocides. Isocrates, de Bigis.

P. 293. Opp. " He persuaded Andocides " : Andocides himself says it was Charmides, his own Cousin, who prevail'd upon him.

P. 294. Opp. " were nam'd by him " : He says that his Father, & eleven more of his Rela- tions were set free upon his Information, that 4 Persons whom he impeached, saved themselves by Flight, <fc that all who were executed, were accused by Teucer.

P. 296. Opp. " at Argos " : At Cyllene, a Port of Elis, says Thucyd: 6. 61. Isocrates, de Bigis, confirms his going to Argos.

P. 301. Opp. " all that Phrynicus had said " : These Transactions of Phrynicus are represented in a much more favourable Light by Thucyd: L: 8.

P. 302. Opp. " when Phrynicus was stabb'd " : Then at Athens & one of the 400.

P. 305. Opp. "Thucydides died that very Summer " : Dodwell has shown he lived near 20 Years after this Battle. Dacier here con- founds two Actions together. They happen'd one a little while after the other & both in the Hellespont. The first near Cynossema, wherein Thrasybulus <fc his Collegue overthrew Mindarus, & took 21 of his Ships, loseing 15 of their own. (This Thucydides describes) the other off Abydos (with the Account of which Xenophon begins his History) & it is this Plutarch speaks of.

P. 311. Opp. " not accomplished without fighting " : Xenophon says nothing of this Pight. P: 256.

P. 318. Opp. " Lysander being sent" : To- ward the end of the former Year.

P. 320. Opp. " near Byzantium " : At Bisanthe on the Propontis. But Xenophon assures [us] it was in the Chersonnese not far from JEgos potami. And Diodorus tells us it was Pactye. Ol: 93. 2.

Opp. " three Years compleat " : Only two Years. The end of the 27th Year, or Beginning of the 26th Alcibiades retired. The 26th Year the Battle of Arginusse happen'd, & the 27th that of JEgos Potami. See Xenoph: L: 1, & 2. P. 266, & Dodwell's Annals.

P. 324. Opp. " a small village " : It was call'd Melissa, between Metropolis & Synada, where long after Adrian erected a Monument to him, & order'd a Bull to be sacrificed at it yearly. Athenseus. L: 13. p. 574.

P. 325. Several particulars of Alcibiades are to be found in Lysias' Orations against his Son. the younger Alcibiades.
