Notes:

For other proverbial phrases involving Carians see kappa 388 (and generally kappa 385, kappa 390). The connotation of the present one is that the sacrifice is meager or even worthless; cf. LSJ s.v. *kariko/s.
[1] cf. Diogenianus 2.98.
[2] This addendum occurs only in some of the manuscripts, and Adler's note expresses agreement with the view of Kuster that it has been mis-transferred from kappa 391 (concerning Eunapius fr.4 FHG (4.14)).
