Notes:
[1] Same or similar glossing in other lexica; and indeed the headword is largely confined to lexica and grammars.
[2] D.M. MacDowell,
Athenian Homicide Law in the Age of the Orators (Manchester 1963) mentions no such law (or the word
ioros). For Drakon's prohibition on 'manslayers' entering particular places see merely
Demosthenes 20.157-8.
[3] cf.
Appendix Proverbiorum 4.39, where (more intelligibly) the present
e)nto/s is
e)n toi=s, i.e. "nor in the [domains] of the ioros".
