Notes:
[1] Same gloss in
Timaeus,
Platonic Lexicon, and
Photius,
Lexicon beta63; cf. generally
alpha 3728. On the concept of "barbarian" in Greek thought, see OCD(4) s.v. (p.223).
[2]
Plato,
Alcibiades 1 120B, where the participle
barbari/zontes occurs (see web address 1 below).
[3]
Diogenes Laertius 7.59; again (including the added example) at
sigma 782.
[4] Even worse in the Greek than it sounds in translation; "the wall" goes with "fell", not with "walking around".
