Notes:
See Herodotos 7.229-231 (web address 1); the present explanation comes from a gloss on the last of these three chapters. cf. generally tau 926. For 'those who had trembled' as a generic term for Spartans who showed cowardice in the face of battle, and were partially disenfranchised as a result, see e.g. P.A.Cartledge, Agesilaos (1987) 179.
