Notes:
[1] More fully in
Photius,
Lexicon alpha869 Theodoridis (s.v.
a)kroteleu/tion e)/pous), where '
Phrynichus' is cited. This has generated a supposed fragment of comic poetry (
Phrynichus fr. 86 Kock), but wrongly so: it is
Phrynichus Arabius,
Praeparatio sophistica fr. 14.
[2] From the
scholia to
Thucydides 2.17.1, where the adjective 'fag-end' (with 'word' or the like implicit) is used.
