A note on this passage
This is the first we hear of Hippothous, who will become Habrocomes' companion and tell him the story of his own life and love (3.2). οἱ περὶ τὸν Ἱππόθοον, "those around Hippothous," is the Greek way of saying "Hippothous and his men"; the narrator spoke of Corymbus' pirates the same way (2.2.1).
