Notes:
OCD(4) p.101, s.v. Anticleides
[1] Antikleides of Athens (FGrH 140), early C3 BCE, wrote works on Alexander (sc. the Great) and on the history and antiquities of the island of Delos [delta 408], besides the one mentioned here, the Homecomings (sc. of the Greek heroes after the Trojan War: see nu 500).
[2] Delphian Apollo: see pi 3130, pi 3137.
[3] For this material see already alpha 1878, and again omicron 10. It comes from the scholia to Aristophanes, Clouds 144, and is surely misplaced here.
