14. βουλευόντων—co-ordinate with αὐτονόμων. ἀπό expresses the method.
τοσάδε ἐπῆλθον—the series of enterprises that are about to be noticed (c. 98-118); τοσάδε διεπράξαντο ὅσα ... ἐρεῖ Schol.
15. διαχειρίσει πραγμάτων—by the management (manipulation) of political affairs.
16. μεταξὺ τοῦδε τοῦ πολέμου καὶ τοῦ Μ.—between the Persian and Peloponnesian wars. Greek often proceeds in this manner from the nearer to the more remote.
ἅ—the antecedent is τοσάδε. ἐγένετο stands as the passive of ποιῶ.
20. τοὺς αἰεὶ προστυγχάνοντας ἐν ἑκάστῳ—who in the several incidents came in contact with them as enemies (‘took part with the allies’ as some understand προστυγ. does not seem to be supported by the usage of the word; it occurs only here in Thuc.).
