παραλαβών: see note on § 35. διὰ τὴν Φοινίκων ἀρχήν: for Phoenician influence in Cyprus see Introd. p. 18. προσεκτήσατο . . . προσπεριεβάλετο: note the force of πρός in composition with verbs, ‘he acquired much fresh territory . . . he had new walls built.’ τριήρεις ἐναυπηγήσατο: the force of ναύς in ἐναυπηγήσατο is redundant; Schneider compares νέκταρ οἰνοχοεῖν (Hom. Il. iv. 3) and— a still more striking example—βουκολεῖν ἵππους (ib. xx. 221). ταῖς ἄλλαις κατασκευαῖς: κατασκευαί (see note on § 44) applied to a city means ‘equipment’; the reference here is probably to theatres, gymnasia, public baths built by Evagoras. ἀπολελεῖφθαι: see note on § 18 οὐδενὸς . . . ἀπολειφθέντος.
