Notes:
The primary headword, which has the same or similar glossing in other lexica, is present middle participle, masculine nominative plural, of LSJ's
a)ma/w (A); evidently quoted from somewhere. (It is part of
Comica adespota 436 Kock, but Kassel-Austin exclude the item.)
cf. generally
alpha 1579,
alpha 1582,
alpha 1583.
[2] Also quoted from somewhere; again, perhaps, from comedy (
Aristophanes fr. 569.6 Kock, now 581.6 Kassel-Austin).
[3]
Aristophanes,
Knights 392-3 (carelessly quoted: the final verb should be
bou/letai, as translated here, not
le/getai; at
alpha 4565 it is correct), with scholion. The reference is to the Spartan prisoners taken at Sphacteria in 425 BC, a success for which Cleon took the credit due (according to
Aristophanes) to
Demosthenes. See
kappa 1731.
