grbs-8011	Dickie, Matthew W.	Thucydides, not Philistus	1976	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1161	52	69	217 Thucydides, not Philistus Matthew W. Dickie E CHRISTIAN KOPFF has argued that the passage giving the reasons for Nicias' lack of success at Syracuse at Thucydides 7.42.3 is not • Thucydides but a fragr:nent of Philisrus which has crept into the text from the margin. In fact, according to Thucydides' own account, the Athenians had spent part of the winter in Naxos as well as Catana (6.74.2, 75.2, 88.3 and 5), and shortly after the onset of the winter of 415 B.C. they had attacked Syracuse (6.63-71).	cache/grbs-8011.pdf	txt/grbs-8011.txt
