Notes:
Besides being a personal name (cf. epsiloniota 146 and lambda 753 for the musican Arignotos), the headword in lower case is also an adjective meaning easily-recognised (for good or bad reasons); cf. alpha 3873. For Arignote see again under theta 84 and pi 3120.
[1] For Pythagoras see pi 3120, pi 3121, pi 3123, pi 3124.
[2] For Theano see theta 83, theta 84.
