Notes:
[1] On Dionysus see generally
delta 1185. The rare epithet appears to be Orphic (see
Orphica 30, 31), and is used of Dionysus also by Marcus Argentarius (
Greek Anthology 9.246). It appears to be identical with the equally rare epithet
eu)asth/s used of Dionysus on an inscription from Pergamum and of his worshippers.
[2] For euoi! cf.
epsilon 3785,
epsilon 3787,
epsilon 3788.
[3]
Greek Anthology 6.154.1-2 (
Leonidas of
Tarentum). For Lyaeus see
lambda 788.
