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.
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)

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.

172.
this country is hostile to Artaxerxes.
1. αὕτη ἡ χώ?α Α?ταξέ?ξῃ πολεμίᾱ ?στίν.
the soldiers have arms and horses.
2. μαχαί?ᾱς καὶ ἵππους οἱ στ?ατιῶται ἔχουσιν.
these friends of Cyrus were soldiers.
3. οἱ τοῦ Κύ?ου φίλοι οὗτοι ἦσαν στ?ατιῶται.
For you are in a hostile land
4. εἶ γὰ? ?ν πολεμίᾳ χώ?ᾳ.
in this place there was a beautiful park.
5. ?νταῦθα καλὸς πα?άδεισος ἦν.

180.
and he was proceeding to the wagon
1. καὶ εἰς τὴν ἅμαξαν ?πο?ε?ετο.
the bowmen send for their bows
2. τοῖς τόξοις οἱ τοξόται μεταπέμπονται.
he did not obey his brother
3. τῷ ἀδελφῷ ο?κ ?πείθετο.
you did not proceed to Cyrus
4. π?ὸς τὸν Κῦ?ον ο?κ ?πο?εύου.
The targeteers will purchase proviions for themselves.
5. οἱ πελτασταὶ ?πιτήδεια ἀγο?άσονται.
