Notes:
Carelessly (see n.1) abridged from Harpokration s.v., itself generated by the mention of the Eteoboutadai in fr.38 Conomis of the C4 orator and statesmen
Lycurgus (himself the most famous Eteoboutad). See also
beta 466,
beta 467.
[1] Too sweeping a generalisation. Harpok. was more precise, specifying the priestess of Athena Polias (but even he should have added the priest of Poseidon Erechtheus).
[2] From
beta 467; and cf.
epsilon 3285.
