Notes:
The headword phrase is illustrated by both of the quotations given (the second of which, indeed, has it twice over).
[1] Quotation unidentifiable. (Its precise import is unclear. The imperfect
e)ph=rxon might be conative 'attempted to rule' or inceptive 'began to rule'; and in any case '(of) Asia' perhaps ought to be construed with that verb: 'after their name had been extolled to an exteme, were ruling Asia'.)

Aelian fr. 87 Hercher (90a Domingo-Forasté). Hercher and Domingo Forasté collate this with other passages in the Suda that seem to deal with the Sybarites:
kappa 915,
tau 805,
omicroniota 2 (cf. also
epsilon 578).
