τοὺς Αἰακίδας. Probably images of Aeacus and his sons (cf. ch. 75). They are specially at home in Aegina (cf. viii. 64, 83, 84), yet Ajax and Telamon are at home in Salamis also (viii. 64), and thus are connected with Athens (ch. 66. 2), where too Aeacus is given a τέμενος (ch. 89). So the Aeacidae might well refuse to aid the foes of Athens.
