τετράτοις: These numbers have given trouble, so that it has been proposed to read with Ahrens and Bergk τερτάτοις (Aeol.) = τριτάτοις (Meister, Gr. Dial. 1, 43). The genealogy is this:

Aiakos Telamon Aias Peleus Achilles Neoptolemos Phokos Panopeus Epeios

The Schol. remarks that Aiakos is excluded in πρώτοις and included in τετράτοις. Epeios was the builder of the famous wooden horse. Telamon aided Herakles and Iolaos in the first capture of Troy. N. 3.36: Λαομέδοντα δ᾽ εὐρυσθενὴς | Τελαμὼν Ἰόλᾳ παραστάτας ἐὼν ἔπερσεν.

σάφα: Apollo is usu. Λοξίας. Cf. note on O. 6.61.
