Notes:
Same entry in
Photius (tau381 Theodoridis) and similar one elsewhere: see e.g.
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon,
Hesychius tau1145,
Etymologicum Magnum 762.12-16, and a scholion on
Plato,
Laws 962C.
cf.
tau 781,
epsilon 3327.
[1] As Theodoridis (following Naber) notes, this is probably quoted from
Plato,
Laws 837E, where it is singular.

Sophocles fr. 235 Radt.
