Notes:
[1] His name is transmitted as Ainikos both here and in ps.-
Zonaras, but it should be Eunikos (
Pollux 10.100;
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 13.567C (13.21 Kaibel), who mentions the play mentioned here -- see further, next note). See generally Kassel-Austin, PCG V pp. 278-279.
[2] For the name cf. generally
alpha 2501,
alpha 2644 (name of a courtesan). E's play, however, may (despite
Athenaeus' assumption: see previous note) have been on a mythological subject: Anteia was an alternative name for Stheneboea (
sigma 515).
[3] Here again the name may be faulty: one manuscript has Aineios.
