Notes:
[1] The headword phrase, similarly glossed in other lexica, is in the accusative case; it is taken to be quoted from Attic tragedy (
Adespota fr. 328k Kannicht-Snell). See generally
epsilon 961 and ps.-
Zonaras 700.15 Tittmann.
[2] George of
Pisidia,
Heraclias 3, fr.46.2; but the original reads
e)n me/sw| instead of the (quite odd)
e)/sw.
[3]
Menander Protector fr. 20.3 Blockley; again under
tau 89. On 'Tanchosdro' see n.3 at
delta 1327.
[4] Accepted by Blockley as another fragment (his fr. 34) of
Menander Protector.
