[1] A member (in the second half of the C4 BCE: see the next note) of the Areopagos Council in
Athens; cf. generally
alpha 3824.
[2] The Greek defeat at the battle of
Chaironeia, autumn 338 BCE. The Suda's source here, Harpokration s.v., records that
Lycurgus was his prosecutor (Lyc. fr. III.1a Conomis, and cf. Lyc.
Against Leocrates 53 [web address 1]).
[3] Also in the
Synagoge and
Photius. Perhaps a variant of, or mistake for,
alpha 4505 (q.v.); if not, mysterious.
