Greek Original:

Notes:
[1] Same or similar glossing in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa7 Theodoridis. The headword must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently attested.
[2] Eunapius fr.41 FHG (4.31). For the idiom of laughing verbs with platu/ see LSJ s.v. platu/s, 5.
[3] Sophocles, Ajax 199. This is the reading of the "Paris" manuscripts and the one adopted by Triclinius. There is a variant reading bakxazo/ntwn ("raving, running riot"), found in the "Roman" manuscripts and in Laur. 32.9, the oldest of the manuscripts; modern editors are divided in their preferences.
[4] Adler noted Hemsterhuys' attribution of this quotation to (again) Eunapius, while she herself suggested Aelian or Iamblichus. It is now Iamblichus, Babyloniaca fr. 119 Habrich (where the reading a)neka/gxasen, from ms.I, is adopted).
