Notes:
[1] RE Anteros(4) = Apollonius(79); NP Apollonius(10). (The first paragraph of the entry concerns him; it then digresses; see n.4 below.)
[2] [eta 463] Heraclides.
[3] [alpha 3215] Apion.
[4] The entry now derives from Aelian: fr. 203b Domingo-Forasté (202 Hercher).
[5] 'Mutual Love'. For the personification see RE Anteros(1); NP Anteros.
[6] Reading sunepneusa/thn (from sigma 1501) for sunepese/thn.
[7] Chariton was the lover of Melanippos, but Melanippos also loved Chariton. See e.g. alpha 1812, phi 43.
