A proverbial phrase. [Used] because Lykos the hero had a shrine near the jurycourts [sc. in
Athens], where the blackmailers would lie in wait. Three obols a day was set apart for him.[1]
Lukou dekas: paroimiôdes. epei Lukos ho hêrôs hidruto para tois dikastêriois, entha prosêdreuon hoi sukophantai. aphôristo de autôi triôbolon tês hêmeras.
Likewise in
Photius lambda457 Theodoridis (from
Pausanias the Atticist) and similarly in
Zenobius 5.2 and other paroemiographers. Better, however, is
Photius lambda456 Theodoridis, quoting
Eratosthenes (via Harpokration delta13 Keaney); see under
delta 174.
