battle of Delium

kind: battle · 424 BCE — the editor’s frame · 13 mentions across 9 episodes of the record — counted by the house’s first pass receipt — the deed shelf, first pass receipt — the year anchors receipt — the witness index

The 424 BCE battle. The spine's 424 block names it in its own text ('...Delium: tov ini-', FH II p.150, with Thucyd. IV cited alongside) — the v1 place-key pass had filed this quote under a different label; the curation lane restores it to Delium.

Where the accounts part — the record’s own argument; the witnesses below carry the receipts

Who saved whom in the rout: Plutarch has the mounted Alcibiades shielding Socrates on foot; Diogenes Laertius has Socrates saving Xenophon — a chronological impossibility the house serves beside its rival, receipts on both.

The regnal line — the editor’s table of years, never the record’s voice
