Notes:
[1] The source for this, the equivalent entry in Harpokration (citing Hyperides fr. 15 Jensen), has undergone some unhelpful changes here -- notably the elimination of any mention of metics (who are the "them" of the next sentence). See also next note.
[2] "Used to refuse" (h)rnei=to) is an error for "used to choose" (h|(rei=to).
[3] alpha 3546; see also nu 166.
