[1] Included by Jacoby as one of the 'doubtful' fragments of Theopompus of Chios (theta 172): FGrH 115 F409, evidently on Alexandros of Pherai and Pelopidas the Theban in 368 BCE; cf. Plutarch, Pelopidas 27. (For P. elsewhere in the Suda, see under epsilon 3834.)
Jacoby gives there the entirety of the present entry, punctuating it with a colon after qe/menos. This has the implicit result of presenting the quotation as what has generated the headword phrase. However, for a gloss thus to begin tou=to a)nti\ ktl ("this meaning...") would be unparalleled. So it is better to retain Adler's punctuation, and to accept the corollary that seems to flow from it: that par' ou)de\n qe/menos tou=to is an unattributable phrase from somewhere else, and Theopompus' sentence an additional illustration of the idiom.
