Greek Original:
Sôi: monosullabôs hoi sôioi: kai para Thoukudidêi. hoi de sunêthesteron graphousi sôioi. kai Sôn, monosullabôs, anti tou sôizomenôn, holoklêrôn. holoklêron te kai sôn kai artemê ergasamenon.
Notes:
[1] Likewise in Photius sigma923 Theodoridis (with other references there), taken to come from Aelius Dionysius (sigma44, quoted by Eustathius). The accusative singular sw=n occurs in Thucydides (3.34.3); the nominative plural sw=| is restored at Thucydides 1.74.3 from Aelius Dionysius. See also sigma 1, sigma 855.
[2] As genitive plural, sw=n is not attested outside lexicography.
[3] Aelian fr. 102 Domingo-Forasté (99 Hercher), quoted more fully at theta 171.
