Notes:
For this adjective see already
pi 88. (LSJ entry at web address 1.) The present entry is also in
Photius,
Lexicon pi72 Theodoridis, and paralleled elsewhere.
[1] This is taken to be C. the Platonic commentator [see
eta 481, at n.4], fr. 3 Dyck, and the passage that has prompted the entry is probably
Plato,
Laws 705A,
h)/qh pali/mbola kai\ a)/pista.
[2] So too in
Eudemus, but
e)nantio/boulos in
Photius.
[3] The Suda's
pali/ndhs o)/noma is faulty;
pali/ndhs o)/nos is the reading in
Eudemus and
Photius. (The adjective does not occur elsewhere, but its general meaning seems clear. If emendation is insisted upon, Theodoridis mentions Dindorf's
palintribh/s.)
