Notes:
[1] The headword (a single word in the Greek) is a very rare feminine noun. It is glossed with this same phrase in the parallel entry in ps.-
Zonaras.
[2] 'Anon.': LSJ s.v. Perhaps
Polybius, according to Adler. But suggested as a fragment of
Damascius by Asmus (fr. 20), and accepted as such by Zintzen (fr. 25) and Athanassiadi (fr. 158).
