[1] = Synagoge epsilon695 up to this point; and very similarly already in Hesychius epsilon4910. See further, next note.
[2] = Photius, Lexicon epsilon1605 up to this point. The headword, superlative of a putative adjective e)piku/dhs in the masculine nominative singular, is presumably quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given here, which has the feminine accusative). The few extant possibilities begin with Polybius 5.69.11, though its sense there (the Ptolemaic admiral Perigenes was e)pikude/steros ... tai=s e)lpi/si -- 'more sanguine' (LSJ) in his hopes -- of winning a sea-battle) is not a perfect fit with the present glossing.
[3] A close approximation of part of Menander Protector fr. 10.3 Blockley (122-123; via Constantine Porphyrogenitus, Excerpta de legationibus 194.31-195.1), on the 569-571 embassy of Zemarchus to the Turks. The original differs in giving the name of "the Turk", Sizaboulos (Sizabul, khan of the Turks; cf. PLRE IIIb s.v. Sizabulus). On Zemarchus see alpha 2962 and PLRE IIIb s.v. Zemarchus(3). Find further extracts from this fragment at alpha 2962, alpha 3615, epsilon 963, epsilon 3658, eta 416, theta 226, kappa 2021, lambda 57, pi 772, pi 1026, pi 1273, upsilon 178, upsilon 408, phi 617, and chi 340.
