Notes:
The first part of this entry draws on the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 231 (where the headword adjective occurs: web address 1); cf. ps.-
Zonaras s.v.
e)pi/kwpos, and
kappa 2295. The second part -- linked to the first by the adjective
e)pi/kwpos -- comes from an unidentifiable historical narrative.
