Note 171 — Chapter V

Ἐκ τῆς βοηθείας.] Xenophon is here somewhat obscure; for he made no mention of this βοηθεία before. Cheirisophus and his men seem to have gone to aid the party of Greeks that were dispersed for plunder, when some of them were cut off by the Persians, and when Tissaphernes attempted to burn the villages. * * * Afterwards he is rather tautological; for the words ἡνίκα ——οἱ Ἕλληνες express no more than is said in οἱ μὲν ἀμφὶ Χειρίσοφον —— βοηθείας, except that they serve to mark the exact time when Xenophon addressed the men.
