Notes:
[1] The headword (a single word in the Greek) is glossed thus in
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon. Its entry there might be generated by the fact that
Plato uses the word three times in his
Laws, but
Timaeus draws on other authors besides
Plato, and in this instance the source might be
Homer, e.g.
Iliad 22.127; see Latte on
Hesychius eta252, and cf. Theodoridis on
Photius,
Lexicon eta82.
[2]
Greek Anthology 5.297.1-2; cf.
alpha 4314. Find another extract from this epigram, on the complaints of girls confined to their chambers, at
pi 614.
