μηδὲ κακῶν μεμνώμεθα κτλ. Xerxes had no exception to take to Artabanos' pessimism, unless that it is mal à propos. μεμνώμεθα: Od. 14. 168 “ἄλλα παρὲξ μεμνώμεθα, μηδέ με τούτων Μίμνησκ᾽”. The perf. pass. is used as a middle; 5. 195 μέμνεο τῶν Ἀθηναίων (as if from μνάομαι). the word βιοτή is rare in prose.
ἐντὸς ἐμεωυτοῦ. Cp. 1. 119 οὔτε ἐξεπλάγη ἐντός τε ἑωυτοῦ γίνεται.
