[735] τοῖσδ᾽ For the dat. cp. Hdt. 2.145 “Διονύσῳ μέν νυν ... κατὰ ἑξακόσια ἔτεα καὶ χίλια μάλιστά ἐστι ἐς ἐμέ: Ηρακλέϊ δὲ ... κατὰ εἰνακόσια ἔτεα: Πανὶ δὲ κατὰ τὰ ὀκτακόσια μάλιστα ἐς ἐμέ.” Then from persons the idiom is transferred to things: Thuc. 3.29 “ἡμέραι μάλιστα ἦσαν τῇ Μυτιλήνᾳ ἑαλωκυίᾳ ἑπτά.”
