Notes:
[1] From a scholion on
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 710;
Aristophanes fr. 411 Kock. For the (Skythian) archers of classical
Athens, see already
tau 771. For Euathlos see
epsilon 3367.
[2] This secondary headword is lacking, Adler reports, in mss AFV, but in G and M it introduces a separate entry. The material comes from
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 7-8, with a scholion on verse 8.
[3]
Homer,
Iliad 15.102-3.
[4]
Sophocles fr. 902 Radt (where however other versions give the verb as
e)ktaqh|=).
[5]
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 707, with scholion; cf.
omega 243.
