Notes:
[1] Adler misunderstood this part of the entry, and therefore led her readers astray: by declaring that nothing relevant could be found in
Aeschines, and by punctuating, accordingly, with a colon after '
Hyperides says' (so as to suggest that what he said was the phrase
following it). Same misleading punctuation, latterly, in
Photius omicron464 Theodoridis. However, it is orthodox to regard the headword phrase itself as the quotation from
Hyperides: fr.39 Jensen. To make this clear, a full stop is the preferable mark of punctuation after '
Hyperides says'; and in fact the second quotation given is
Aeschines 2.163 (
o)rqh=s h(mi=n th=s patri/dos ou)/shs).
