[2] For some of these titles see
Athenaeus Deipnosophists 6.271A [6.100 Kaibel] (
Busybody), 9.396D [9.54] (
Polyeuktos), 9.408A [9.74] (
Plover). At
pi 1959 the names Heniochos (which means Charioteer: LGPN ii has 7 instances besides this one) and Polyeuktos are reversed, to create a non-existent comic poet Polyeuktos.
[3] As at
pi 1959, this passage appears to be a later addition to the Suda, inserted by a critic of the patriarch Polyeuktos in or close to his own time. Polyeuktos was patriarch of Constantinople from 956 to 970. (The Styx and its tributary the Cocytus were two of the rivers of the underworld:
Homer,
Odyssey 10.514, etc.)
