Notes:
The first and principal part of this entry is abridged from Harpokration s.v., commenting on Antiphon fr. 5 Sauppe and going on to cite
Philochorus (FGrH 328 F72) and
Thucydides (8.90-92).
[1] (Also in
Stephanus of
Byzantium and elsewhere.) Meaning "other" than the Akte peninsula; the northerly and lesser of the two promontories which enclosed the Great Harbour.
[2] Same material, according to Adler, in the
Ambrosian Lexicon. The phrase is otherwise unattested, and which Eetion it refers to cannot be determined. (The father of Andromache, for instance, also bore that name; cf.
eta 131.)
