Notes:
[1] Likewise in other lexica; references at
Photius alpha457 Theodoridis. The headword, accusative singular, must be quoted from somewhere -- perhaps, though not necessarily, any of the quotations given here, which the other lexica do not have.
[2]
Polybius 3.78.2 (imperfectly quoted; for a better version see under
alpha 334).
[3]
Polybius 2.32.8 (again approximated rather than quoted).
[4]
Polybius 15.24.6 (considerably garbled: it should read "to proclaim to all his...").
