For the twin senses of the headword a)khdh/s glossed and illustrated here, see generally LSJ s.v.
[1] Similar glossing in Photius and elsewhere.
[2] Quotation (also in ps.-Zonaras) unidentifiable.
[3] Aelian fr. 241b Domingo-Forasté (242 Hercher). [Adler reports that ms. M reads the first person singular e)to/lmhsa ("I did not dare") but no corresponding variant for e)/qaye).]
[4] Quotation unidentifiable. We know of several lost books called Mythica, but none in hexameter verse, as this quotation is (Crusius includes it in an appendix to his edition of Babrius, p.216). It appears to belong to the theory of transmigration of souls, and may belong to the body of Orphic or even Pythagorean literature. George the Monk tells us that "bitter (acid, overcritical)" souls were, under this theory, changed into wolves in reincarnation (Chronicon breve 11.784.17). Lachmann would emend pikrh\ to pikroi\ and a)khdh/s to a)khdei=s, making both subjects plural.
[5] Part of Aelian fr. 63 Hercher (66 Domingo-Forasté). It refers to a capture of Syracuse by Phoenix [Author, Myth] of Acragas, but confuses historical facts (see sigma 441; cf. Callimachus fr. 64 Pfeiffer). The allusion is to the desecration of the tomb of the poet Simonides of Ceos, who was buried at Acragas; it must refer to a desecration by the Phoenician Carthaginians in the process of sacking Acragas in 406 BC.
