Notes:
C4-3 BC. See generally RE Lykophron(8); OCD4 s.v. Lycophron(2), on which see further below; TrGF 100.
[1] The suffix (for which cf. epsilon 3801) distinguishes this place from homonyms in Epirus and elsewhere.
[2] Lycus: lambda 814.
[3] cf. alpha 1127, delta 1169, omicron 253, sigma 817, sigma 860, sigma 863, tau 894, phi 358.
[4] Modern scholarship, which shares this estimate of the Alexandra, actually dissociates it from Lycophron of Chalcis: see the OCD article.
