[1] Same glossing in Photius; similar in Hesychius, where Latte reasonably suggests that the headword itself is quoted from Demosthenes 18.207 (on Aeschines).
[2] Same gloss in Hesychius; Latte there suggests that the participle is quoted from Plato, Phaedo 117A, but there are numerous other possibilities.
[3] This quotation is given more accurately in other lexica, and also attributed there: Demosthenes 5.22 (on Philip).
