Notes:
[1] In Sparta: cf. lambda 824. The headword is the plural of the neuter noun fili/tion, more commonly attested as fidi/tion (see LSJ s.v., web address 1). Compare Plutarch, Lycurgus 12; Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 4.140E [4.17 Kaibel] (parallel noted by Küster).
[2] Quotation unidentifiable.
[3] Philostratus, Life of Apollonius of Tyana 4.27, on Sparta; quoted more fully at pi 1657, and see also epsilon 3955.
