Notes:
[1] Similarly in other lexica. The headword, a neuter nominative/accusative plural, is presumably quoted from somewhere; Diodorus (see next note) has three instances.
[2] Diodorus Siculus 33.5.2, abridged (just this side of intelligibility), using the genitive plural. The city in question is Marathos, on the coast of Syria.
