Note 271 — BOOK THE EIGHTH.
Theodore Alois Buckley translation · Edition 4
Footnote 271: (return) Observe that των belongs to ίππων and ανδρών, and that όσον εκ νηών από πύργου τάφρος εεργε, means that “the space between the rampart and the sea was enclosed.” Από does not govern πυργου, but is compounded with εεργε.
