Notes:
Abridged from Harpokration s.v., an entry generated by Isocrates 4.110 and 5.95; also cited are Isocrates 12.67 and (as below) Demosthenes.
[1] In the late C5 BCE, after their victory in the Peloponnesian War. A variant term, in (e.g.) Xenophon, is dekarxi/a (cf. mu 627).
[2] This "And" is a clumsy connection between two parts of the longer entry in Harpokration.
[3] Demosthenes 6.22 (web address 1).
