8. ἡγησάμενοι—considering; so often in the aor.: they reflected ὅτι οι μὲν Δωριεῖς, οἱ δὲ Ἴωνες (Schol.).
μή τι κτλ.—this depends on δείσαντες, the clause between being parenthetical; a not very common form of constn.; cf. Soph. Antig. 1278 τὰ δ᾽ ἐν δόμοις | ἔοικας ἥκειν καὶ τάχ᾽ ὄψεσθαι κακά, with Jebb's note.
9. νεωτερίσωσι—i e. by joining the helots. This would be an instance of their τολμηρὸν καὶ νεωτεροποιία.
