Notes:
[1] i.e. same spelling but a difference between, respectively, oxytone and paroxytone. Same gloss in
Philoponus,
Differences; cf.
Ammonius, and
scholia on
Aristophanes,
Clouds 57, and on Lucian (90.19 Rabe -- on Lucian,
Gallus 12).
[2] Quotation (illustrative of
po/tos) again at
sigma 1753 but with different wording there, including the name of 'the host': Parsondes the Mede. Jacoby, following earlier scholars, suggests adding both this material and
epsilon 1604 to the end of
Nicolaus of Damascus [
nu 393] FGrH 90 F4, but see the note on the latter entry.
