Notes:
[1] From the
scholia to
Homer,
Odyssey 2.284, where the headword phrase occurs; also in
Hesychius.
[2] An historical fragment attributed to
Eunapius (vol.1 p.254 Dindorf, HGM; Blockley,
Eunapius fr. 60.[2]). The context is taken to be 394 CE, when
Theodosius I, preoccupied with the western pretender Eugenius, also had to mourn his second wife Flavia Galla, who died in childbirth.
Blockley, R.C. The Fragmentary Classicising Historians of the Later Roman Empire: Eunapius, Olympiodorus, Priscus and Malchus. Vol. II. Liverpool: Francis Cairns, 1983.
