Xerxes / Makers of History

Footnotes

[A] His history in given in the first chapter of Darius the Great.

[B] For a more particular account of the transaction, and for an engraving illustrating this scene, see the history of Darius.

[C] Plutarch, who gives an account of these occurrences, varies the orthography of the name. We, however, retain the name as given by Herodotus.

[D] See Frontispiece.

[E] There is reason to suppose that Scyllias made his escape by night in a boat, managing the circumstances, however, in such a way as to cause the story to be circulated that he swam.

Transcriber's Notes

1. Minor changes have been made to correct typesetters errors, and to ensure consistent spelling and punctuation in this etext; otherwise, every effort has been made to remain true to the original book.

2. The sidenotes used in this text were originally published as banners in the page headers, and have been moved to the relevant paragraph for the reader's convenience.

3. Page numbering for pages 158 thru 160 has been rearranged, to allow numbering of an illustration that originally placed within a paragraph that spanned three pages.
