Looks good overall. A couple of minor points:

104 #2: both...and should use καὶ twice to get the force of the emphasis

120 #2: á¼￾τεθύκετε. check your person here.

120 #5: What you have is fine, but I thought I would point out (I don't know whether your text mentions it) that κελεύω can use either a dative or an accusative for the person being commanded. So τῷ ΚυÏ￾ῳ would also be correct.
IPHIGENIE: Kann uns zum Vaterland die Fremde werden?
ARKAS: Und dir ist fremd das Vaterland geworden.
IPHIGENIE: Das ist's, warum mein blutend Herz nicht heilt.
(Goethe, Iphigenie auf Tauris)
