Notes:
[1] Likewise in the derivative entry in ps.-
Zonaras, except that Tittman's punctuation there includes 'troops' as part of the headword
[2]
Thucydides 6.67.1 on the Athenians at Syracuse (web address 1).
[3] For the quotation cf.
kappa 1021 (end) -- but it is out of place in this entry. It probably belongs, as Gaisford suggested, to
epsilon 2611 (q.v.). In any event this is the famous episode from 406/5 BCE when Socrates (
sigma 829), as chairman of the prytaneis, stands firm against unconstitutional treatment of the
Arginousai generals. Besides
kappa 1021 cf. also
epsilon 3234.
