Notes:
From
Damascius,
Life of Isidore fr.250 Asmus; cf.
Photius,
Bibliotheca 350b 24-26. The passage is quoted more fully at
sigma 62. As fr.138a Zintzen the passage loses its relevance to the present entry because
pi/non is replaced by
Photius' more neutral
to/non. Zintzen however notes that
Damascius sine dubio used
pi/non.
cf. under
kappa 165, and more generally
pi 1620.
