Πελοποννήσιοι καὶ οἱ ξύμμαχοι: designation for the whole Peloponnesian alliance, as in c. 26.1, 4; ii. 47. 4; 71. 1; iv. 2. 2. For Πελοποννήσιοι alone in this comprehensive sense, cf. c. 2.1, and see on ii. 13. 1.—2.

ἅμα τῷ σίτῳ ἀκμάζοντι: indicates more sharply than τοῦ σίτου ἀκμάζοντος (ii. 19. 5; 79. 4) the beginning of the ripening of the corn. For the pred. partic., see Kr. Spr. 50, 11, 13. See App. on ii. 4. 11 (Steup).—3.
