Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword is accusative singular of this feminine noun. One might think it quoted from somewhere other than the quotation immediately following, where it is in the dative singular, but note that Photius' quotation of this phrase from Thucydides has it in the accusative.
[2] Thucydides 4.108.1 (web address 1), on the Athenians' reasons for distress at the loss of Amphipolis.
[3] Aelian fr. 85a Domingo-Forasté (part of 82 Hercher).
[4] Iamblichus, Babyloniaca fr. 84 Habrich; cf. sigma 1699.
