Ambrosian Lexicon (according to Adler) and elsewhere.
[2] The source of this paragraph is Harpokration s.v.
gwniasmo/s, with some omissions and modifications.
[3] In their editions of Harpokration both Dindorf and Keaney have
ei) gnh/sios ("if genuine") instead of the
ei) e)/sti gnh/sios of the Suda. In Harpokration the quotation from (?)
Lysias begins with
e)/sti de\ ka/myanti ("there is for one following the bends...") instead of the Suda's
ka/myanti. The Suda may have transposed the
e)/sti.

Euripides speaking. However, the introductory words "I showed them..." occur neither in
Aristophanes nor in Harpokration, but are a paraphrase of the line of dialogue that
Euripides speaks shortly before this one (954:
e)/peita toutousi\ lalei=n e)di/daca).
