Notes:
Same entry, but slightly fuller, in
Photius (Lexicon alpha238 Theodoridis) and elsewhere; see further, next note.
[1] Theodoridis (above) prints Croenert's
h(=ke for
h)\ kai/ and thereby sees in this entry
two fragments of
Pherekrates (cf. next note) -- this first one being "he came at dawn before the marketplace gets full".
[2]
Pherekrates fr. 29 Kock, now 34 K.-A. -- an extract which, as can readily be seen, connects with the glossing material rather than with the (proverbial?) phrase glossed. See also fr. 178 K.-A.
