Notes:
[1] From the scholia to Aristophanes, Frogs 1320: see below.
[2] Greek Anthology 6.158.4 (Sabinus); cf. nu 591. On this epigram, a dedication to Pan, the Nymphs, and Dionysus, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 372-373), (vol. II, 405), and further extracts at theta 613 and phi 778.
[3] Aristophanes, Frogs 1320-1 (web address 1).
[4] Abridged from Harpokration s.v., citing Aeschines 3.82 for them. Some have thought 'Ganias' an invention, but Scylax has a Ganiai. In any event, Mt Ganos lies along the western shore of the Propontis (Barrington Atlas map 52 grid A3).
