Same entry in Photius (Lexicon alpha998 Theodoridis) and elsewhere.
[1] This refers to Euripides, Supplices 676, according to Theodoridis (following Naber). Adler had cited Euripides fr. 1124 Nauck, but that instance is dubious.
[2] An approximation of Thucydides 2.70.1, on the siege of Poteidaia (web address 1); cf. epsilon 53. In Thucydides the verb is the pluperfect e)ge/geunto "they had tasted."
