Aristophanes,
Knights 1401 (web address 1), with the glossing of the
scholia there. The mss of both
Aristophanes and the Suda (and, later still,
Eustathius,
Commentarii ad Homeri Iliadem 3 p.784 van der Walk) do transmit the headword as
lou=tron; however, as that would be unmetrical in the Aristophanic line, the emendation to
lou/trion proposed by Peter Elmsley (1773-1825) has been universally accepted; cf. LSJ s.v.

Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 1.13.17 (web address 2). A day prior to the Battle of Daras (Dara, Darai; in northern
Mesopotamia; cf.
delta 68) in June 530 CE, the attacking Persian general Peroz (cf. PLRE IIIb s.v. Perozes) sends a contemptuous message to the Romans defending the city; cf. Kaldellis (32) and
epsilon 2306.
