διὰ τὸν πόλεμον: i.e. the wars at sea between the Athenians and Spartans, and on land between the Spartans and Thebans.

συλωμένων ἡμῶν: the context seems to show that these words refer to reprisals on the people of Salamis caused by monetary difficulties with their neighbours.

τὰ πλεῖστα τούτων διέλυσα, ‘I settled most of these claims.’ The sense of τούτων has to be supplied from συλωμένων ἡμῶν.

βασιλέως: for the omission of the article see note on E. 20 βασιλεῖ τῷ μεγάλῳ.

τῷ μὲν λόγῳ διηλλαγμένου: i.e. by the peace concluded by Evagoras in 380 B.C. after ten years of warfare.

τῇ δ᾽ ἀληθείᾳ τραχέως ἔχοντος: in 384 Lysias warned the Greeks at Olympia that in spite of the Peace of Antalcidas the Great King was a constant menace to Greece; much more would he be a source of danger to his neighbours in Cyprus.

ἀμφότερα ταῦτα κατεπράϋνα, ‘I appeased both these sources of hostility’ (F.). ἀμφοτέρους τούτους might have been expected; for the use of neuter for masculine see note on E. 72 οὐδέν.
