ἐς τὠυτό. Though Pausanias speaks of a meeting at the Hellenium in Sparta (iii. 12. 6), this meeting of delegates in the autumn of 481 B. C. was probably held at the Isthmus, where in the spring of 480, both the council and the forces were gathered together (cf. ch. 172. 1, 173. 4, 175. 1). Plutarch (Them. 6) makes Themistocles the author of this wise resolution, supported by Chileus (cf. ix. 9). The statement is not improbable, but may well be a mere guess.

ἐγκεκρημένοι: cf. v. 124. 1 ἐγκερασάμενος πρήγματα μεγάλα, vii. 151 φιλίην συνεκεράσαντο, and iv. 152. 5.
