[40] Κλάρος (not in Homer): cf. ix. 5; famous for the temple and oracle of Apollo, but probably mentioned only as being a land-mark. On the site see Frazer on Paus.vii. 3. 1.αἰΓλ́ηεσσα: the adjective is only found as an epithet of Olympus in Homer. It is applied to horses in xxxii. 9, and here seems to refer to the brightness of an elevated city.

Nicander ( Ther.958) has “Κλάρου νιφόεσσα πολίχνη”, where the adj. means “bright,” as in Ther.291 Ther., 881, Alexiph. 252.

Αἰσαγέης: mentioned in Nicand. Ther.218, where the scholia note a variant “Αἰγαγέη”. Its position can only be inferred from this passage. A place “Αἰγανέη” is mentioned in Anth. Pal. vii. 390, but this was apparently in Macedonia.
