[2] An episode from the build-up to the Peloponnesian War: see imprimis
Thucydides 1.139.2, and
alpha 2490. (For Perikles see generally
pi 1179,
pi 1180,
pi 1181.) The present allusion to it was tentatively attributed by Adler to
Aelian, but in fact it comes from Aristophanic
scholia (to
Acharnians 532 and/or
Peace 605). See on this identification Theodoridis'
Photius edition, vol.II pp.XCVIII-XCIX.
