Notes:
The neuter singular headword is presumably extracted from the first quotation given.
[1]
Sophocles,
Oedipus Tyrannus 110-111 (which does not have "everything").
[2] This nominative plural has the same glossing in other lexica. It is evidently quoted from somewhere -- probably
Thucydides 6.77.2 (a phrase quoted by
Dionysius of Halicarnassus in his study of that writer).
[3]
Euripides fr. 918 Nauck; cf.
pi 40.
