For the Athenians their all was staked upon their fleet, and their fear for the outcome like unto none they had ever felt before; and on account of the different positions which they occupied on the shore they necessarily had different views of the fighting.Classen's emendation of the incomprehensible Vulgate seems to have the support of the Schol. διὰ τὴν ἀνωμαλίαν τῆς χώρας ἄλλοι ἂλλως ἐθεώρουν τὴν ϝαυμαχίαν. Bekker's emendation, δῐ αὐτὸ ἀνώμαλον. . . for διὰ τὸ. . ., is confirmed by one MS. (a2) and makes good sense if we take αὐτὸ to refer either to the idea that their fear was unparalleled or that the stake was so great: “For since the Athenians had their all staked upon the ships, there was fear for the outcome like to none they had ever felt, and on this account they necessarily had different views of the sea-fight”
