ἔκ τε Ἀχιλληίου. The tomb of Achilles, near the mouth of the Scamander (Strabo 600).

οὔτε συγγινωσκόμενοι, ‘not acknowledging their claim but, showing,’ though the district was studded with Lesbian colonies, Athens claimed it (Aesch. Eum. 397).

λόγῳ: by an argument (cf. i. 129. 3), taken no doubt from Homer, and similar to those used to prove that Salamis belonged to Athens (Plut. Sol. 10; Il. ii. 558) and to support her claims to precedence (vii. 161; ix. 27).
