Notes:
[1] The headword is neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective, presumably extracted from the quotation which immediately follows.
[2] Attributed by Angelo Mai (1782-1854) to
Menander Protector, and accepted as such by Blockley (fr. 33.1, 244-245). Translation is difficult since the sentence as it stands seems to have two nominative subjects: Bonos and his mind (
nou=s). I have attempted to solve the problem by indicating a gap in the text, but that is sheer guesswork. For other entries involving Bonos see
beta 495,
epsilon 2310,
upsilon 743.

Eunapius fr. 96 FHG (4.54).
[4] Derived from
Zosimus,
Historia Nova 4.50.2, a longer excerpt of which is presented at
theta 144.
