[112] σὺν αὐτοῖσιν, not simply ‘with them,’ but a form of the phrase “αὐτοῖς τοῖς ἵπποις”, horses and all. It has been pointed out in the Introd. that the following episode is added simply in order to explain how it is that when Asios is slain in 13.384 ff. he has chariot and horses with him. The phrase which has caused so much trouble, “νηῶν ἐπ᾽ ἀριστερά” (118), is taken from 13.675, because the reference there covers the fight in which Asios falls.
