In 'Meno’s betrayal 1' I was quoting Xenophon’s Anabasis I.i.9. Unable to sleep, I wanted to begin to write 'Meno’s betrayal 2'. Before beginning it, I wanted to refresh my mind and see what I wrote in 'Meno’s betrayal 1'. My eyes fell on a closing passage from I.i.9, which I quote there. The closing passage is corrupted as follows:
Kai\money for the support of his troops (w#ste kai\ xrh/mata
suneba/llonto au0tw~| ei0j th\n trofh\n tw~n stratiwtw~n ai9
E(llhspontikai\ po/leij e9kou=sai).
So it was that this army wj stra/teuma).
The correct passage is as
follows:
Consequently, the Hellespontic
cities of their own free will sent Clearchus contributions of money for the
support of his troops (w#ste kai\ xrh/mata
suneba/llonto au0tw~| ei0j th\n trofh\n tw~n stratiwtw~n ai9 E(llhspontikai\
po/leij e9kou=sai).
So it was that this army also was being secretly maintained for Cyrus (tou=to d’
au] ou3tw trefo/menon e0la/nqanen au0tw~| to\ stra/teuma).
