Notes:
Early C3 BC. RE
Simmias(6); OCD4
Simmias(2). But in this entry
Simmias (third century BC) has been conflated with the the seventh-century poet (
sigma 446)
Semonides of
Amorgos.
[1] The second of these names should more properly be Aigiale (so
Stephanus of
Byzantium), and 'Arcesime' seems simply to be Adler's misprint for Arcesine. See in any event, for these Samian settlements on
Amorgos c.620-600, Graham Shipley,
A History of Samos 800-188 BC (Oxford 1987) 51.
[2] In the sense of early history; cf.
epsilon 3755,
iota 53.
