{[[[Ὁ μὲν [δὴ] (this adds a place, counting as a verb) [Μηθυμναίων καὶ Μυτιληναίων] πόλεμος]]]} {[ἀδόκητον] [λαβὼν] [ἀρχὴν]} καὶ {[τέλος] [οὕτω] (before a theta passive the adverb is separated or the demonstrative adverb is strong enough to stand alone?) [διελύθη]}. {[Γίνεται δὲ χειμὼν] [Δάφνιδι καὶ Χλόῃ] [τοῦ πολέμου πικρότερος]}: [ἐξαίφνης] γὰρ [περιπεσοῦσα] [χιὼν πολλὴ (if this πολλὴ was on the other side of περιπεσοῦσα it would require two spaces]} {[πάσας] μὲν [ἀπέκλεισε] [τὰς ὁδούς], {[πάντας] δὲ [κατέκλεισε] [τοὺς γεωργούς]}. [2] {[Λάβροι] μὲν [οἱ χείμαρροι] [κατέρρεον]}, {[ἐπεπήγει δὲ κρύσταλλος]}(a two-part structure for some reason): {[τὰ δένδρα] [ἐῴκει] [κατεσκελετευμένοις]}: {[ἡ γῆ] [πᾶσα] [ἀφανὴς ἦν]} {[ὅτι] {[μὴ] [περὶ πηγάς που καὶ ῥεύματα]}. [3] Οὔτ̓ οὖν {[ἀγέλην] [τις] [ἐς νομὴν ἦγεν] (not sure of the breakdown here - there are too many variables} οὔτε {[αὐτὸς] [προῄει] [τῶν θυρῶν], ἀλλὰ [πῦρ] [καύσαντες] [μέγα] [περὶ ᾠδὰς ἀλεκτρυόνων] (perhaps the placement of the noun and the adjective around the καύσαντες allows for)} {[οἱ] μὲν [λίνον] [ἔστρεφον], {[οἱ] δὲ [αἰγῶν τρίχας] [ἔπλεκον], {[οἱ] δὲ [πάγας ὀρνίθων] (these seemed to be grouped as a natural collocation) [ἐσοφίζοντο]}. [4] Τότε {[βοῶν] [ἐπὶ φάτναις] [φροντὶς ἦν]} {[ἄχυρον ἐσθιόντων]}, {[αἰγῶν καὶ προβάτων] [ἐν] [τοῖς σηκοῖς]} {[φυλλάδας]}, {[ὑῶν] [ἐν] [τοῖς συφεοῖς]} {[ἄκυλον καὶ βαλάνους]}.
