^{page 43 note 4} Breadth with outriggers about 16 ft. 6 in., and oars projecting perhaps 10 ft. on either side, make up 36 ft. 6 in.: and we may allow 4 ft. 3 in. on either side for a safety margin to make up a round figure of 45 ft. Of course all of this is approximate and some of it guesswork: but the distance is unlikely to have been much less than 40 ft., or much more than 50 ft. The argument would not be affected by any reasonable variations. See J. S. Morrison and R. Williams, Greek Oared Ships (C.U.P.), ad loc.

^{page 48 note 1} Not ‘landing-place’: there were places to land, but no chance of landing (because of the Spartan troops).

^{page 48 note 2} Some may be misled here by Leake's description of Voidokoilia (quoted by Gomme, , p. 484) as a bay with 'a narrow entrance; it is nevertheless bad, exposed to a continual surf, and capable only of admitting boats'. ButGoogle Scholar

(1) the entrance is wider than the Sikia channel (see map);

(2) it is usually calm, and its beach is exposed to surf only in strong northerly or westerly winds (certainly not to continual surf);

(3) whatever Leake means by ‘boats§ 6 above in the text.

^{page 50 note 1} Not, with Gomme, ‘stopping their attacks by land’: possible Greek (though unlikely because of the ), but the sense is irrelevant to the context.
