ἄριστα Αἰγινῆται: cf. ch. 122. Diodorus (x. 27. 2 = Ephorus) pretends the Spartans contrived that the prize should go to the Aeginetans to humble the Athenians, while Plutarch (Mor. 871 D; de Mal. Her. 40) carps at H. for stating the simple facts of the case: these comments of later authors are without foundation.

Ἀναγυράσιος: from Ἀναγυροῦς, a deme of the tribe Erechtheis, on the coast near Cape Zoster (ch. 107), south-east of Mount Hymettus; cf. Paus. i. 31. 1, with Frazer.
