Notes:
[1]
Aristophanes,
Peace 666-667 (web address 1 below). Comment from the
scholia there follows: see next note.
[2] A debased version -- for "Kleonymos" read Kleon -- of
Philochorus FGrH 328 F128, on events of 425/4 BCE (cf.
Thucydides 4.41.3-4).
[3] Theophylact Simocatta,
Histories 3.5.16; again at
kappa 1990; cf. de Boor (119) and Whitby (79). After his failure to retake Martyropolis (early summer 589), Philippicus (cf.
phi 349) is dismissed by the Roman emperor Maurice and replaced by Comentiolus (cf.
kappa 1990). The Persians had earlier captured Martyropolis (present-day Silvan, in eastern Turkey; Barrington Atlas map 89 grid D2) by way of a ruse. On Maurice, see
mu 294 generally.
