Translation: Thucydides [writes]: "[the Athenians] both built up and organized the empire on a stronger basis, and they themselves advanced to greatness of power".[1]
Greek Original:Enkratesteros. Thoukudidês: tên te archên enkratesteran epoiêsan kai katestêsanto, kai autoi epi mega dunameôs echôrêsan.
Notes:
The unglossed headword, masculine nominative singular of the comparative degree of the adjective
e)gkrath/s (
epsilon 126), is presumably generated by the corresponding feminine accusative singular in the passage quoted (though cf., e.g., under
zeta 79).
[1] An approximation of
Thucydides 1.118.2 (web address 1), on the Pentekontaetia. (The received text of
Thucydides does not include
e)poi/hsan [here "built up"]
kai/; it also transmits the final two words in the order
e)xw/rhsan duna/mews.)
