Notes:
[1]
Synesius,
Epistle 137.273b. The headword is aorist of
e)corxe/omai, first person singular. Contrary to his usual reticence,
Synesius spoke freely about philosophy when he had only just met Herculian, the addressee of this letter; rather than blaming himself, he attributes his unexpected openness to a divine cause.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (There seems no basis for Adler's firm attribution to
Aelian.) It relates to the notorious twin religious scandals -- the mutilation of the Hermai and the parodying of the Eleusinian mystery-ceremonies -- which took place in
Athens in 415 BCE (
epsilon 3047 etc.). For the metic Poulytion (sic) see e.g.
Isocrates 16.6;
Andocides 1.12 & 14;
Plutarch,
Alcibiades 19.2;
Pausanias 1.2.5.
