Notes:
[1] Same or similar glossing in other lexica. The headword phrase must be quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, which has a different one involving 'shame'). Adler did not identify it, but it is surely Homer, Iliad 10.238; cf. Latte on Hesychius s.v. and Theodoridis on Photius s.v.
[2] Evidently from an historical account, but not readily identifiable. Adler called Bernhardy's nomination of Cassius Dio 'rash' and preferred John of Antioch. More attractive -- given Plutarch, Marcellus 30, on Hannibal's show of respect to the dead M. Claudius Marcellus -- is Polybius (Mor. Mueller); cf., along the same lines, Favuzzi's suggested attribution to Aelian (see under epsilon 3944).
