Notes:
[1] Neuter plural(s); same headword plus gloss in other lexica too (references at
Photius alpha324 Theodoridis); evidently quoted from somewhere -- given what follows, perhaps
Philostratus,
Life of Apollonius of Tyana 3.21, though there are other possibilities.
[2] Much of this material recurs in
kappa 912. The Apollonius in question is the neo-Pythagorean sage A. of
Tyana (C1/2), on whom see principally
alpha 3420.
