[1] Thus far the entry is also in Photius tau64 Theodoridis; see other references there (including the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 9.219). The source of the dative plural -- in this sense) is indeterminable.
[2] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as Diodorus Siculus 13.78.1 (on the Athenian general Konon, operating off Lesbos in 407 BCE). See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II p.LXXVII.
