The Athenian generals (441/40 BC)
In this page we present the text of a scholiast to Aelius Aristides, who quotes the Atthidographer Androtion because he preserved the list of the Athenian strategoi at Samos. According to Dindorf, the text of the scholion has only eight names. Wilamowitz (De Rhesi scholiis disputatiuncula, Greifswald 1877-78, p. 13) added the names of Glauketes and Kleitophon, while other scholars who consulted the manuscript read the name Lampides Peiraieus before Glauketes Athenaios (see F. Lenz, 'The Athenian strategoi of the Years 441/40 and 433/32', in TAPA 72 (1941), pp. 226-232; P. Harding, Androtion and the Atthis, Oxford 1994, pp. 143-148). For the names of the strategoi of 441/40 BC, see R. Develin, Athenian Officials 684-321 BC, Cambridge 1989, p. 89.
The text of the scholion is aligned with the inscription of the Athenian treaty with Samos of 439/38 BC, where we have the names of the strategoi of that year (for the full text of the stone, see the page on The Athenian generals (439/38 BC)).
For a possible participation of Hipponikos, son of Kallias, as strategos in the Samian War, see Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae 7.137 (328e) (= Eupolis, Flatterers, CAF I fr. 154 
).
