Notes:
[1] Nowhere extant in Josephus, but rather identified as an Athenian comic fragment (Comica adespota fr. 1381 Kock, now 199 K.-A.); so as Bernhardy suspected, the name here must be corrupt. (His suggestion was Hegesippus, for whom see under eta 57.) For the chalkous see chi 55.
[2] Same explanation in Pausanias the Atticist and elsewhere.
