Notes:
[1] Aristophanes, Knights 1311-12, imperfectly quoted (see web address 1). The first part of the entry comes from a scholion on this verse. For the Furies see generally epsilon 2994, epsilon 2995, epsilon 3580, epsilon 3581.
[2] Abridged from Harpokration s.v. Theseion (commenting on its mention in Demosthenes 18.129).
