The island is said to have been once called Sciras and Cychrea after the heroes Scirus and Cychreus (Strabo, 9, p. 393; Steph. Byz. s.v. Kuxpeios rdyos). Aeschylus (Pers. 570) speaks of the Cychrean shores.--9. 4Catov: when the Lacedaemonians acted as arbitrators between Athens and Megara for the possession of Salamis, Solon is said to have alleged that Philaeus and Eurysaces, two sons of Ajax, received the Athenian citizenship and surrendered the island to Athens (Plut. Solon, 10). Pausanias makes Philaeus a son of Eurysaces and grandson of Ajax. But Pherecydes (quoted Biogr. Gr., ed. Westermann, p. 187) and Herodotus (6, 35), with whom later writers agree, make Philaeus a son of Ajax. Cf. J. Tiipffer, Attische Genealogie, pp. 269 sqq.--12. dvao-Td Tous: the surrender of Salamis to Cassander seems to have happened in 318 B.C. (Polyaen. 4, 11; Droysen, Gesch. d. Hell. II, 1, 230). For the next ninety years it was probably held by a Macedonian garrison. In 229 B.c. Avatus restored it to Athens (Plut. Aratus, 34; Paus. 2, 8, 0; Droysen, III, 2, 57). At this time the punishment here alluded to may have been inflicted. 19. T Atavn: the Athenian epheboi regularly took part in the annual festival of Ajax on the island of Salamis, when the features were a procession, a sacrifice to Ajax, athletic sports, and a regatta. (Hesych. s.v. Aldvreta; C.I.A. II, 467-471.) See Pauly-Wissowa, Real-Encycl. I, 920 sqq. s.v. Aianteia.--20.
