Notes:
[1] In southern Boiotia, central Greece; site of a Greek victory in the Persian War, 479 BCE. See also
pi 1701; OCD4 s.v. Plataea. (The Suda's accentuation of the headword here on the final syllable is odd, and probably mistaken. The normal singular toponym was
*pla/taia -- though in fact plural
*plataiai/ is more commonly found.)
[2] Evidently quoted from somewhere; perhaps
Homer,
Iliad 2.504, though there are many other possibilities.
