4. Κ??ῳ ο?κ ?πο?ε?σω.

5. οἱ πελτασταὶ ?πιτὴδεια ἀγο?άσονται.

thanx very much for your help

172 #1 were you using ἀ?χή in the sense of "sovereignty, realm"? or were you thinking of another word (say, χώ?α)?

172 #4 χῶ?ᾳ I haven't been looking too much at your accents, but did happen to notice this. circumflex on penult, long ultima. Can you see what's wrong? It should only have a circumflex here if the ultima is short.

180 #1 Just a note: instead of καὶ εἰς..., you could also use εἰς δέ...
you also might double-check the ending on ἄμαξᾱ

180 #3 τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ο?κ ?πείσατο. πείθομαι is generally followed by a dative.

180 #4 Κ??ῳ ο?κ ?πο?ε?σω. 'to Cyrus' is a prepositional phrase. So you want to use εἰς again instead of the dative.

You're doing well. Coming up with the proper Greek is much harder than simply translating from it.

Hello and bonjour Hammurabi !
Take a look at the accent here. On the other hand, I put imperfects where a past tense was needed, no aorists yet.
