Notes:
cf. alpha 4562, lambda 882.
[1] The headword phrase is presumably quoted from somewhere, but not the quotation given (which has a different preposition and, thus, sense); rather, probably Herodotus 7.215 (though there are instances in later historiography also -- Diodorus, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Procopius -- and also e.g. in Philostratus).
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyogeniti) unidentifiable.
Keywords: daily life; definition; food; historiography; history; military affairs
