Notes:
OCD(4) p.101, s.v. Anticleides
[1] Antikleides of
Athens (FGrH 140), early C3 BCE, wrote works
on Alexander (sc. the Great) and
on the history and antiquities of the island of Delos [
delta 408], besides the one mentioned here, the
Homecomings (sc. of the Greek heroes after the Trojan War: see
nu 500).
[2] Delphian Apollo: see
pi 3130,
pi 3137.
[3] For this material see already
alpha 1878, and again
omicron 10. It comes from the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Clouds 144, and is surely misplaced here.
