[1] Aristophanes, Wasps 741-2 (web address 1), with scholia. Bdelycleon ("Loathes-Kleon") expresses to the chorus displeasure with his petulant father Philocleon ("Loves-Kleon"). For Kleon (Develin person no. 1659) see OCD4 s.v. Cleon, and kappa 1731.
[2] Aelian fr.12 Hercher (12b Domingo-Forasté, pp. 23-4); cf. alpha 287, mu 1123, and pi 274. The reluctant woman is Monime of Miletus (Barrington Atlas map 61 grid E2); cf. mu 490 note and mu 1060.
[3] Damascius, Life of Isidore fr.228 Zintzen (134 Asmus - so, tentatively, Adler). It refers to the moment when the Syrian philosopher and mathematician Domninus (c.414 - c.485; cf. delta 1355 end and PLRE s.v. Domninus 4) rebuffed the mathematically brash Asklepiodotos (cf. alpha 4174 and PLRE s.v. Asclepiodotus 3).
