Notes:
Presumably prompted by Harpokration (and
Photius) s.v., though there the gloss reads simply 'a proper name.'
Gylon, an Athenian of the deme Kerameis, was the maternal grandfather of the orator
Demosthenes (
delta 454), and the Suda's material here stems from anti-
Demosthenes material in
Aeschines 3.171-2 (web address 1). 'Kleoboulos' here should be Kleoboule,
Demosthenes's mother. Beyond that, for an attempt to separate fact from fiction, see J.K. Davies,
Athenian Propertied Families 600-300 BC (Oxford 1971) 121-2.
