[1] Herodotus 1.24.7. The gloss there now follows here.
[2] Apparently an inference from the word's supposed etymological connection -- for which see e.g. Plutarch, Theseus 33 -- to a)/nac ('king', 'lord'). See LSJ (web address 1 below).
[3] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
