Notes:
[1] Likewise in the
Synagoge (upsilon25) and
Photius (upsilon49 Theodoridis), similarly elsewhere. The headword, genitive plural, must be quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities (beginning with
Pindar and
Euripides), of which Theodoridis gives a sample.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler suggests
Aelian.)
