Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica, and cf. also the
scholia to
Plato,
Republic 349B, where the headword occurs.
[2] Adler suggested
Aelian as the source of this quotation, but see next note.
[3] Rather, from the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Frogs 902 (see web address 1 below for the text of the line); the remark pertains to
alpha 4234, q.v. The passage from the
scholia is also cited at
delta 1498, and cf.
beta 488 note 1.
[4] cf.
alpha 4228,
eta 603.
