Translation(s)	After the third book I stopped writing anything significant, but at this point I resumed writing again. My last comment had been on κλῇθρον. Language English Source(s) A. Kaldellis, 2015, Byzantine Readings of Ancient Historians, Abingdon and New York: 74 Dopo il terzo libro ho smesso di scrivere alcunché di significativo. Da questo punto ho ricominciato a scrivere: il ‘chiavistello’ (κλῇθρον) è stato (chiavistello) dei discorsi più addietro. Language Italian Source(s) M. Luzzatto, 1999, Tzetzes lettore di Tucidide: note autografe sul Codice Heidelberg Palatino Greco 252, Bari: 17
