Abstract

Ι analyze four texts drawn from Thucydides auctorial comments, which have been variously understood, and I propose and defend a definite interpretation for each. The texts concern Nicias’ virtue (Th. 7.86.5), the constitution of the 5000 (Th. 8.97.2), the exchange of valuations inherent in words, during stasis (Th. 3.82.3), and the reproduction of political speeches and military harangues in Thucydides’s history (Th. 1.22.1).
