[1] The headword, which must be quoted from somewhere, is dative plural of dro/mos "race". For this glossing (also in Photius, Lexicon delta758), LSJ s.v. cites a Cretan inscription of the mid-third century BCE, in which the city of Itanos honours King Ptolemy II Euergetes (SIG 463.14). Note, nevertheless, that in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon the gloss is simply toi=s gumnasi/ois, suggesting a wider application. (Plato, Phaedrus 227A-B, perhaps lies behind Timaeus' entry.)
[2] The quotation is Sophocles, Electra 686-687, but it is here corrupted: the manuscripts read genitive dro/mou instead of dative dro/mw|, and te/rmata instead of pra/gmata, as inserted in ms A by a more recent hand. The reading th=| fu/sei also is doubtful, though the scholion ad loc., which the present gloss follows, seems to be based on it (kata\ th\n au)tou= fu/sin th=s ni/khs e)/tuxen, "the victory he achieved was corresponding to his appearance"). Musgrave's conjecture ta)fe/sei (= th=| a)fh/sei, "to the start") deserves consideration, since th=s a)fh/sews is elsewhere corrupted into th=s fu/sews. According to this interpretation the translation of the verse would be "equalling his finishing with his starting off", meaning that as Orestes started off first, so he ended up first. A different explanation is provided by another scholion: according to some critics Orestes would have run "a long race" (dolixo/n), that is, twenty stadia, a number which corresponded to his age.
[3] From the dream-interpretations, in verse, attributed to Astrampsychos (alpha 4251); the first of them already at alpha 3786. This addendum to the present entry is not in ms T; the author has probably added it because of the analogy of theme, since the passages concern running or moving in dreams.
[4] Literally "in a lazy way".
