Notes:
Abbreviated from Harpokration s.v., commenting on the mention of these terms (the second of which should be neuter
pwlhth/rion) in
Hyperides fr. 18 Jensen, and also citing the Aristotelian
Athenaion Politeia (47.2) and
Isaeus fr. 50 Sauppe.

pi 2161.
[1] The transmitted text has
dokou=si, "They seem", but this is a corruption of
dioikou=si; see Harpok.
[2] Both here and in the headword-phrase itself the word
pwlhth/rion is slightly corrupt; I have ignored this in translation.
