Αἶγυς, πόλις Λακωνικῆς, ὡς Εὐφορίων. οἱ πολῖται Αἰγῦται, ὡς Παυσανίας. Λυκόφρων δὲ τὸ ἐθνικὸν Αἴγυος, τὸ θηλυκὸν λέγων οὕτως “καὶ πάντα τλήσεσθ´ οὕνεκ´ Αἰγύας κυνός, τῆς θηλύπαιδος καὶ τριάνορος κόρης”. ὁ λόγος περὶ Ἑλένης Λακωνικῆς οὔσης καὶ ἄρρεν μὴ τεκούσης [καὶ] τῷ Μενελάῳ καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρῳ καὶ Δηιφόβῳ γαμηθείσης. Θεόπομπος δὲ Αἰγυέας αὐτούς φησιν.
