Notes:
cf.
epsilon 1605.
[1] Likewise in other lexica. The headword must be quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities are numerous. For the verb cf.
epsilon 343.
[2]
Polybius 1.40.3 (web address 1) on L. Caecilius Metellus, one of the consuls of 251/0 BCE.
[3] This quotation (on an episode of early Roman history; cf.
mu 210) was left unidentified by Adler, who declared rash Mai's attribution of it to
Cassius Dio. Latterly Favuzzi [see under
alpha 1596] 198-199 canvasses the likelihood, on vocabulary grounds, of Appian, Dio, and John of
Antioch, and argues for Appian.
