For Echemus cf. Pind. Ol. xi. 66 (of the foundation of the Olympic games by Heracles, δὲ πάλᾳ κυδαίνων Ἔχεμος Τεγέαν). This combat (cf. Paus. viii. 5. 1) was represented on a memorial stele at Tegea (Paus. viii. 53. 10).

Φηγέος: probably a slip or accidental miswriting for Κηφέως, the name given by Pausanias (viii. 5. 1) and Apollodorus (i. 9. 16; ii. 7. 3; iii. 9. 1), whereas Phegeus belongs to Psophis, once called Phegia, in north-west Arcadia (Paus. viii. 24. 2 and 8 f.).

κοινῆς ἐξόδου: as though the Peloponnesian league had existed before the Dorian conquest.
