cos iiroXep-qcrav npos dXXqXovs is a resumption, or resolution into a

relative clause, of t6v rroX^pov tcou neXoTrovvqa-Lcov Koi *K6qvalu>v.     The

meaning is, not ' in what manner they fought with one another,'
but simply 'their war with one another.' Or, preserving the
pleonasm, which gives additional weight to the opening sentence,
we may translate the whole clause, 'the war of the Pelopon-
nesians and Athenians, in which they fought with one another.'
There is no stress upon cos, which is taken in the less emphatic
sense of the English ' how.'

opcov is parallel in the Greek with 6Vt aKpd^ovTes ^crav, not with
TCKpaipopevos: opcov =: kol oti ea>pa. Kal adds emphasIs to the last
clause of the sentence. Not simply ' and others who were intending
to join,' but ' besides others,' or ' and there were others.'
