Notes:
The headword phrase, genitive plural, might be quoted from somewhere as a whole, but see n.1 below. Cf.
xi 88.
(The adjective in it literally means washed together by the waves: see LSJ s.v.)
[1] Likewise in
Photius and other lexica, but without 'fellows'. That fact suggests that only the adjective is actually quoted from anywhere -- either
Plato,
Axiochus 369A, or Lucian,
De mercede conductis potentium familiaribus 24, to judge from the
scholia there (noted by Adler); cf. also
Hesychius sigma2174.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable.
