The contingents of Megara, Ambracia, and Leucas are listed, noting that the latter two are of Doric descent from Corinth.
Μεγαρέες δὲ τὠυτὸ πλήρωμα1 παρείχοντο καὶ ἐπʼ Ἀρτεμισίῳ, Ἀμπρακιῶται δὲ ἑπτὰ νέας ἔχοντες ἐπεβοήθησαν, Λευκάδιοι δὲ τρεῖς, ἔθνος ἐόντες οὗτοι Δωρικὸν ἀπὸ Κορίνθου.2
The Megarians provided the same complement of ships as they had at Artemisium; the Ambraciots came to help with seven ships, and the Leucadians with three, these being a Doric nation from Corinth.
- 8.45.1τὠυτὸ πλήρωμα
τὠυτὸ is a crasis of τὸ αὐτό in the Ionic dialect. Literally meaning 'the same complement', it refers to the crew equivalent to the twenty ships that Megara had previously provided at Artemisium.
- 8.45.1ἔθνος ἐόντες οὗτοι Δωρικὸν ἀπὸ Κορίνθου
The plural demonstrative pronoun οὗτοι and the present participle ἐόντες (the Ionic form of ὄντες) refer back not only to the Leucadians (Λευκάδιοι) but also to the Ambraciots (Ἀμπρακιῶται) mentioned just before. This aligns with the historical fact that both cities were colonies of Corinth.
