[2] Adler suggested either
Iamblichus or
Aelian as the source of this quotation. It is
Iamblichus,
Babyloniaca fr. 121 in Habrich's edition, but Stephens and Winkler (Berkeley and Los Angeles 1995) do not include it among the fragments of
Iamblichus.
[3] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
