1 Lakonia, Thyreatis: vi.2–6; vii.6–7, 8 §4 (cf. i.4; iii.4; iv.1–5; v.1–3); also vii.8 §1 on N. Messenia. Aitolia–Akarnania: vi.12; vii.1–4. Philip V: vi.1, 12; vii.1–2.

2 E. Lokris: vi.9 (cf. v.6). Tegea–Hysiai road: vi.7 (cf. iii.3; iv.5; also iii.2 on Argos–Hysiai); vi.7 deals with points raised by Salmon, J. B., CR 35 (1985), 100103.Google ScholarHelikon: vi.8 (cf. v.5). Via Egnatia: vi.11 (for Amphipolis cf. i.3; iii.9).

3 Thermopylai, Herodotos: vi.10; vii.8 §3 (cf. i.5; ii.2 (Artemision); iv.8–10 and appendix, pp. 234–85; v.7). Olympos: vii.5 (cf. ii, appendix, pp. 164–76).

4 Vols. vi–vii are the first since ii (1969) to be properly typeset. The change of publisher for vii seems to have been made for purely practical reasons, but its effect on the price is regrettable. Both volumes are well produced, and the photographs are good; more sketch maps relating sites to their local terrain would have been welcome, however. The absence of a detailed index is still to be lamented (cf. Salmon (n. 2), 101), though readers should note that a placename index to i–v was published in vol. v (1985; not reviewed in CR), pp. 218–21. Is a comprehensive index volume too much to hope for?
