Ἀτρεΐδης δὲ γέροντας7 ἀολλέας ἦγεν ἈχαιῶνThe critical apparatus implies, at least to me, that Aristarchus read ἀριστέας instead of γέροντας. But in fact he read ἀριστέας instead of ἀολλέας. See, e.g., M.L. West's Teubner edition of the Iliad (vol. 1, p. 255), and Hartmut Erbse, ed., Scholia Graeca in Homeri Iliadem, vol. II: Scholia ad Libros E-I Continens (Berlin: Walter de Gruyter, 1971), p. 417.

7 γέροντας: ἀριστέας Aristarchus
But the son of Atreus led the counselors of the Achaeans all together to his hut, and set before them a feast to satisfy the heart.
