Photius,
Lexicon delta584. For the same material see again
alpha 2758,
delta 1043,
delta 1235. In all four Suda entries, as already in
Photius, the point is unfortunately spoiled by a mis-spelling of one of the words,
a)nqippasi/a. (There is no such word as
a)nippasi/a.) For the anthippasia (the more usual term of the two), a mock cavalry battle, see Bugh (below) 59-60.
