[1] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an approximation of Procopius, Secret History 5.4 (on Tutila). See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II p.XCIV.
[2] Attributed by Wentzel to a rhetorical source (so Adler).
[3] Quotation unidentifiable.
[4] Quotation unidentifiable.
[5] In fact Sophocles: Chrysothemis in Electra 466-467 (with comment from the scholia there). The connection of this passage to the foregoing is indirect: the noun used is lo/gos (cf. LSJ s.v., III.2), not logismo/s.
