[1] Accusative plural(s), the headword one evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps
Aristotle,
History of Animals 594b7).
[2] Thus far the entry =
Etymologicum Genuinum; cf.
Hesychius,
Etymologium Magnum 808.14,
Lexicum Ambrosianum 137 and 164 (according to Adler), Erotian 93.5 (=
Aristophanes of
Byzantium fr. 90 Nauck), Orion [
Author,
Myth] 163.33.
[3] Not extant in
Thucydides. The name, as scholars have noted, is probably an error; suggested alternatives are
Theophrastus and (cf.
tau 944)
Thugenides.
