Notes:
[1] Same glossing in the
scholia to Lucian,
Dialogues of the gods 17.1; and cf. generally
epsilon 3661.
[2] Quotation (also in ps.-
Zonaras s.v.) unidentifiable.
[3] Adler notes Valckenaer's attribution of this quotation to
Aelian. But in fact, as a TLG search reveals, it is Theodoret on
Psalm 72
LXX (PG 80.1441d). See on this Theodoridis'
Photius edition, vol.II p.LXXXII.
[4] A fuller version of this quotation or paraphrase is given at
xi 9; there it is given as the historian
Xanthus' description of the reign of the Lydian king Alkimos. "They" are the Lydian people.
