Thu- 318 NOTES ON HERODOTUS. cydides, (ii. 8, ) however, states that a short time before the Pelop. War, there was an earthquake at Delos, the first in the memory of man ; whence Miiller, Dor. I. P. 332, comes to the conclusion " that Hdtus had no knowledge of that mentioned by Thucydides, and that Thucydides had never heard of the other, which occurred before his time, nor had read the statement of Hdtus. " But as Hdtus lived, as is evident from vii. 133, 137, and from this very ch. , in the P...elop. War, it is hardly probable that either he or Thu- cydides could have forgotten such a circumstance ; hence Arnold, in his note on the passage, suggests that as in Thucyd. Ii. C. 16, dpri is used to describe what took place just after the Persian In- vasion, so in Thucyd. Ii. 8, 6\iyov must be taken, with the same degree of latitude, to mean 70 years. This explanation does not differ greatly from that of W. V. And Bloomfield consider the words we iXtyov oi AjXioi to show that the story rested on the ve- racity of the Delians, and that Hdtus and Thucydides did not be- lieve it.
