Numbers given are in fact for περί plus genitive in the entirety of the Histories (identical to Powell's Lexicon sv περί: 286 total, 69 in anastrophe). There are twenty instances of πέρι in book 2. This is indeed a relatively high number, but it is a known phenomenon that lexical and grammatical choices can cluster. In other words, I agree with the reviewer.
