Notes:
[1] Derived from Harpokration s.v. Ainious, i.e. accusative plural, as again here, from
Demosthenes 23.119. (The entry also quotes
Homer [
Iliad 4.520] and cites
Ephorus FGrH 70 F39.) But only one city is involved: Ainos/Aenus, in Thrace, whose citizens were Ainioi/Aenii: see
alphaiota 225.
[2] Quoted from
alpha 3451:
Polybius 22.6.7 (preserved only in the Suda), on events in Thrace in the 180s BCE.
