Notes:
A garbled entry deriving in large part from Harpokration s.v. nautodikai, where
Aristophanes fr. 225 Kock (237 Kassel-Austin) is quoted: "I want [to make him] a foreigner suddenly, having dipped to the nautodikai." (Here "I want,"
e)qe/lw, has become the Suda's
e)lqw/n, "having come").
On the nautodikai see generally A.R.W. Harrison,
The Law of Athens, ii: procedure (Oxford 1971) 23-4.
[1] Sc. yet masquerading as an Athenian citizen.

Comica adespota fr. 743 Kock (but not separately registered by Kassel-Austin).
