Notes:
[1] The headword is superlative of
h(/sswn/
h(/ttwn, neuter accusative plural used as an adverb. (Same or similar glossing in other lexica). It must be extracted from somewhere (not necessarily the
Libanius passage about to be quoted); cf. generally
eta 175,
eta 598,
eta 626,
eta 630.
[2]
Libanius fr.67 Foerster, also in the
scholia to
Plato,
Laws 899D. The quotation makes little sense as it stands and seems faulty; Adler reports that ms V has
fili/a| "friendship" for
fia/lh| "bowl".
[3]
Iamblichus,
Babyloniaca fr. 31 Habrich (also registered as
Damascius,
Life of Isidore fr. 23 Asmus, now 46 Zintzen -- wrongly according to Adler); cf.
epsiloniota 207.
[4] Quotation unidentifiable -- but A. Favuzzi identifies the individual concerned as L. Antonius Saturninus: see under
alpha 2762.
[5]
Aelian fr. 74g Domingo-Forasté (71 Hercher); cf.
epsilon 1395.
[6]
Diogenes Laertius 9.19.
[7] Quotation not identified by Adler, but it is
Marcellinus,
Life of Thucydides 27.
[8]
Iamblichus,
Babyloniaca fr. 31 Habrich again.
[9]
Aelian fr. 53f Domingo-Forasté (50 Hercher); cf.
phi 594.
[10] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler says '
Aelian' again, but not in Hercher's fragments.)
[11] Similar glosses in other lexica and
scholia; cf.
omicron 853,
omicron 981.
