Notes:
Philochorus FGrH 328 F40 b -- where Jacoby conjectured "with the tribes" in Harpokration s.v., from which the present entry derives. (Harpok. himself had been prompted by the occurrence of the headword phrase in
Demosthenes 47.26.)
For the 10 Athenian tribes see generally OCD(4) s.v. phylai.
[1] The gate in question is most probably the one which led out of the
Peiraieus towards
Athens. As to the date of the dedication, a case has been made both for 493/2 and (Jacoby) 394/3.
