Descent into Hades,
Priapos,
In regard to Belestiche,[3]
Amazon, etc.

Deipnosophists.[4]

Notes:
C3 BCE. See generally OCD4 s.v.
Sotades(2) (and cf. already
sigma 868).
[1] Something is textually amiss not only with this word but with everything so far, since
Maroneia (
mu 222) is not in Crete. Emend
daimonisqei/s to
de\ nomisqei/s, with Rohde: 'a Cretan, but considered a Maroneian'.
[2] For this sentence and the beginning of the next cf.
phi 547.
[3] cf.
beta 232.
[4]
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 7.293A-E [7.41 Kaibel] and 9.368A [9.5] -- but as one sees there, this material actually pertains to
Sotades the Athenian comic poet (
sigma 870).
