Hesychius epsilon4263 offers a similar gloss. Adler also cites the
Ambrosian Lexicon (1703), Laurentianus 59.16,
Apion's
Homeric Glossary, and a scholium to
Homer,
Iliad 6.353. The last two are not particularly similar and deal with different forms of the infinitive. See also Apollonius Sophistes,
Homeric Lexicon 71.2-3, and
Hesychius epsilon4266.

Aelian or
Eunapius. Quoted again, in truncated form, at
chi 340.

Aelian fr. 86 Hercher, 89 Domingo-Forasté, quoted more extensively at
kappa 1714, although there the anecdote is applied to Klearchos of
Pontos. The form of the verb used here is present middle infinitive.
