Notes:
[1] cf. Georgius Syncellus (ed. Mosshammer) 109.26-7, 110.20-1, 178.3; Malalas (ed. Thurn) 48.12-3; Cedrenus 1.144.5-8. For Aigialeus see
alphaiota 38.
Strabo 8.6.10: "Menelaus took possession of Laconia, while Agamemnon received Mycenae and the regions as far as
Sikyon and Corinth and the country which at that time was called the country of the Ionians and Aigialians, later that of the Achaeans". For this
Sikyon, in the NE Peloponnese, cf.
sigma 403. The chronographers' "Hellas" is perhaps an error for, or corruption of,
Helike (cf.
Homer,
Iliad 2.575: "through all Aigialos and around broad
Helike").
