Notes:
[1] An approximation of
Procopius,
Secret History 8.24.3.
[2]
Greek Anthology 6.302.1-2 (
Leonidas of
Tarentum); cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 119); (vol. II, 347-348); and further extracts from this epigram at
alpha 3965,
eta 380,
kappa 2424,
mu 702, and
sigma 698. Gow and Page note (vol. I, 119) that here the
Anthologia Palatina (AP) reads
musipi/h, perhaps a portmanteau word, but otherwise unattested. The AP scribe designated C (
the Corrector) transmits
moi\ sipu/h, with the dative case of the first person singular pronoun (ibid.). However, Gow and Page follow the
Anthologia Planudea and the Suda here in reading
mu=s sipu/h (ibid.).
[3]
Homer,
Iliad 6.24. The comments from the
scholia that follow are from an explanation of different sorts of illegitimate children; cf.
upsilon 576.
[4] These two last sentences are lacking, Adler reports, in mss AFV.
