Extract
The passage in Herodotos which above all others is written as if to provide a test on their own ground of the historical application of archaeological discoveries is v, 88, 2: ᾿Αττικὸν δὲ μήτε τι ἄλλο προσφέρειν πρὸς τοἱπόν μήτε κέραμον, ἀλλ᾿ ἐκ χυτρίδων ἐπιχωριέων νόμον τὸ λοιπὸν αὐτόθι εῖναι πίνειν The archaeological results of the victory of Argives and Aiginetans over Athenians are given thus:—
(1) The change of dress in Athens from Doric to Ionic.
(2) the νόμος made by the Argives and Aiginetans, that their pins should be increased to half as large again;
(3) that these pins should be dedicated in the sanctuary of Damia and Auxesia;
(4) that no Attic pot should be brought into the sanctuary.

page 83 note 1 For previous discussion see P. N. Ure, Origin of Tyranny pp. 164 ff., 314 ff. My historical conclusions, it will be seen, are similar to his, though I differ from his inter pretation of archaeological results (the body of evidence has been considerably increased since he wrote). My obligation to A. A. Blakeway's views, shortly to be published, is great.

page 88 note 4 Cook, J. M., BSA xxxv, 204Google Scholar; the jug in Copenhagen, said to have been found in Cadiz, must remain doubtful.
page 88 note 5 I shall present elsewhere a detailed account of these relations.
page 88 note 6 J. M. Cook, op. cit. p. 203 wishes to bring down the date of some Early Protocorinthian vases. I hope soon to discuss at length the chronology of Protocorinthian in relation to the dates of the foundation of the western colonies. In the meantime, I see no reason to question the accepted dates for colonies or Protocorinthian, nor to doubt that innovations of style and subject were introduced appreciably earlier at Corinth than at Athens.
page 89 note 1 Attica's isolation is also to be seen in her failure to adopt the Dedalic style in sculpture and terracottas, the common style of the most progressive regions of Greece; cf. Jenkins, Dedalica pp. 22 ff.

page 89 note 4 All the extant works of some Protoattic workshops have been found in Aigina, others about contemporary (e.g., the Mesogeia painter) are not represented there. But this may be due to the accident of discoveries.

page 90 note 2 Herodotos' use of in v, 85 may well be an anachronism, as Macan suggests, and does not imply that Athens had a fleet of triremes at the time of the Aiginetan War.
page 90 note 3 Herodotus iv–vi vol. i 227. The inquiry of the Delphic oracle is probably also an anachronism.
page 90 note 4 Herod, viii 46; Paus, ii 29, 5. Pind. Ol. viii 39; Pyth. viii 29 say that Aigina was conquered by Argives, without naming Epidauros.
