Notes:
Abridged from Harpokration s.v., where Dinarchus (frs. VI.12 and XIV.3 Conomis) and Philochorus (FGrH 328 F64) are cited. Philochorus apparently claims that they were creations of Ephialtes, in 462/1, but otherwise they are not attested until the last quarter of the C4.
See also nu 488 and omicroniota 124 (and theta 267 for the thesmothatai).
