Notes:
[1] (The headword -- already at
delta 1021 -- is translated here as singular, though in Greek it is (neuter) plural.) From Harpokration s.v., citing Antiphon 6
On the choreutes. The headword does not appear in the transmitted text of that speech, but Scheibe's orthodox emendation conjures it in ch.39 there.

Clouds 984 (web address 1), also at

[3] Untrue: they were two different festivals, in different months.
[4] Zeus of the City. (NB "Zeus" becomes "Dii" in the dative case.)
