iota 251. The present entry is loosely based on the one in Harpokration s.v., commenting on the occurrence of this nominative plural in a lost speech by
Hyperides (fr.50 Jensen) and citing other sources including comedy. See also
Hesychius iota424 and
Photius iota83.
[1] This phrase is transmitted as the (problematic) noun
epiorkoi in
Hesychius and
Photius (above). For
Hesychius, Latte printed his own conjecture,
epikrotoi; for
Photius, Theodoridis endorses Dindorf's opinion that the phrase here in the Suda be accepted.
