Notes:
Likewise or similarly in other lexica; see the references at
Photius iota160 Theodoridis.
[1] See generally
sigma 776,
sigma 777,
sigma 779.
[2] Four, rather (as is clear from e.g. ?
Aristotle,
Athenaion Politeia 7.3). This error in
Photius' source creates the need for a non-existent fifth class: see below
[3] Meaning either farmers owning a yoke of oxen or hoplites fighting in formation.
[4] See above, n. 2. This is actually not a fifth class but another way of referring to the second class:
i(ppa/s vs.
i(ppei=s. (See
epsilon 653,
iota 537,
pi 972.)
