 ἐς φυλακὴν ἐποιήσαντο —so VIII. 1 
 
 ἐς άσφάλειαν ποιεῖσθαι . Cf. Andoc. de Myst. 117 θυγατέρες αἳ ἐγίγνοντο ἔς τε ἐμέ καὶ Λέαγρον .
 διαβάς .—the sentence, containing five participles, is an example of what Dionysius calls τὸ πυκνόν of Thucydides; Cicero speaks of him as pressus , Quintilian as densus. The participles that denote closely connected parts of the same action are joined by καί .
 ἐπιτυχών = ὡς ἐπέτυχε .
 πλῷ χρησάμενος —‘after a good passage.’ πλῷ = εὐπλοίᾳ , as in I. 137 
 . (Some make πλῷ χρησάμενος merely = πλεύσας , but 
 Antiphon V. 24 
 
 πλοῦς ἡμῖν ἐγίγνετο καὶ ἀνήγετο πλοῖα ἄπαντα seems decisive.)
