Notes:
[1] In Thucydides this verb occurs several times, but never in Book 1. Note also that Thucydides most frequently uses it in the sense of discrediting/slandering (cf. below in the present entry), and once in the sense of crossing over, but never in the sense indicated in this gloss (and again at delta 892). A misunderstanding or variant reading for paraba/loito at Thuc. 1.133 may be behind this citation; cf. pi 281.
[2] Crates fr. 47 Kock, now 54 Kassel-Austin.
[3] Up to this point the entry is almost identical in form to Photius delta287, though in Photius the citation of Crates is absent. A marginal note to one manuscript of Photius (accepted into the text by Theodoridis) cites Cratinus, instead of Crates (Cratinus fr. 436 Kassel-Austin). Parts of this material also find parallels in other lexica and commentaries, e.g. Hesychius delta942: diaba/llei. kataginw/skei. u)bri/zei. parapata=|. paralogi/zetai. See also scholia to Aristophanes, Birds 1648 and Thesmophoriazusae 1214; Erotian 31.17; and here in the Suda delta 499 and delta 892.
[4] Quotation unidentifiable.
[5] Arrian, Anabasis 1.11.6.
[6] A close approximation of Arrian, Anabasis 3.29.3 (with the proper names 'Alexander' and 'Oxos' supplied from the context); cf. omega 127.
[7] A marginal gloss, absent from mss GTFV. It seems to be taken from the syntactical lexicon De syntacticis 134,6, edited in Lexica Segueriana (Bachmann). Adler also cites Anecdota Graeca 4.290.14 Cramer and the Lexicon syntacticum of Codex Laurentianus 59.16. The quotation is an approximation of Cassius Dio 46.8.3. In the original the verb is second person and the adverb word "always" modifies the verb ("always...you slander"), rather than the participle, as here.
