H. puts in the forefront two points in which the Athenian story, dictated perhaps by unwillingness to admit defeat, differed from the Aeginetan, viz. (1) that the Athenians sent only one ship, (2) that they had no intention of making an armed attack, to which we get the Aeginetan answers in ch. 86. Meanwhile, the undisputed fact of the attempt to remove the statues is thrust away into a relative clause, οἳ πεμφθέντες.
