Notes:
[1] So too the parallel entry in ps.-
Zonaras; and cf.
Aristophanes of
Byzantium, cited by
Eustathius in his
Commentary on Homer's Iliad 2.70.22 van der Valk. The headword -- present middle/passive participle, masculine nominative plural -- is thus more likely to be extracted from
Homer than from the quotation which follows. (For the verb
a)mu/nw, see also
alpha 1676,
alpha 1679,
alpha 1680.)

Polybius fr. 99 Büttner-Wobst; cf.
alpha 2202,
epsilon 941,
pi 933. Büttner-Wobst notes (p. 528) that this fragment was attributed to
Polybius by Ursinus (Fulvio Orsini, 1529-1600). Walbank (p. 751) notes that
Polybius 36.2 (web address 1) is the probable context for this fragment.
