More complex entries from which this one might be derived are found in
Hesychius (epsilon4933), the
Etymologicum Genuinum, and the
Etymologicum Magnum (361.39); see also
Photius,
Lexicon epsilon1617 and 1617a in Theodoridis' edition.
The headword phrase itself occurs in several classical-period authors including

Plato and
