Notes:
[1] The headword, a dative plural, appears with these or similar glosses in other lexica too (see the references at
Photius lambda2 Theodoridis); it must be quoted from somewhere (but not
lambda 226 =
tau 1197).
[2]
Sophocles,
Oedipus at Colonus 473 (web address 1), and scholion. The scholiast's gloss implies the reading
kra=t' e)/reyon in preference to
kate/reyon.
[3] cf.
alpha 3201,
beta 15,
omega 284.
[4] Summary version of an aphorism of
Xenocrates (
xi 42,
xi 43) in
Diogenes Laertius 4.10: music, geometry and astronomy proffer "handles" by which to grasp philosophy.
