Note:
According to LSJ (web addresses 1 & 2), the headword tetra/deion is used in reference to a square in a city; tetra/dion is a guard consisting of four soldiers (as at Acts 12.4) or a quaternion of parchment. Choeroboscus (Anecdota Oxoniensia 2.269) mentions these two forms without explaining a difference in meaning. The third form, not cited in LSJ or Choeroboscus (but tetra/dumos means quadruplet), also appears in the scholia to Lycophron.
