Notes

  1. §12.arg.0Ἀθηναίοις καὶ Βοιωτοῖς — This functions as a dative of involvement or dative of agent referring to the noun μάχης, indicating the combatant parties (Athenians and Boeotians).
  2. §12.arg.0ὁ κληθεὶς Κορινθιακός — An attributive position where the article and participle `κληθεὶς` along with the adjective `Κορινθιακός` modify the noun `πόλεμος`. This 'Corinthian War' refers to the conflict in the 430s BC, not the more famous war of 395 BC.
  3. §12.arg.0εἰς τὸν υἱὸν γενομένης ἐπιτιμήσεως — The prepositional phrase `εἰς τὸν υἱὸν` (toward the son) along with the participle `γενομένης` modifies the noun `ἐπιτιμήσεως` (punishment), expressing the object of the action.
