προσεχέσι: used predicatively with τεταγμένοισι, as is shown by τοῖσι ἐπεξῆς τεταγμένοισι (§§ 1 and 3). The Greek leaders apparently landed to the east of the Persian camp, and, finding the beach too narrow for the deployment of their troops, marched the left wing along it straight against the enemy, while the right wing made a turning movement (περιήισαν) on the hills above. Then followed the breaking through the shield-wall and the rout of the Persians, and finally the capture of the camp.

χαράδραν. Perhaps the Gaeson, which served the Persians as a natural moat to their camp (ch. 97 n.).
