Notes
- Perhaps mentioned again at tau 1020 under 'Tritogenes' (though the name there is textually uncertain and might be (e.g.) "Athenians"). In any event, otherwise unattested. Probably a confusion with -- or corruption of? -- the Athamanes of NW Greece, extinct by Strabo's day (7.7.1 & 8, 9.4.11 & 17, etc.)
