Notes:
[1] Aristophanes, Peace 225 (web address 1), with scholion thereto.
[2] Adler noted de Boor's attribution of this [Rheinisches Museum 45: 478] to Aelian. A TLG search shows that it is, rather, an approximation of part of Nicolaus of Damascus FGrH 90 F44 (found in the Excerpta de insidiis of Constantine Porphyrogenitus) on the adulterous queen Damonno of Lydia.
