Notes:
The first paragraph of this entry is also in Photius (omicron37 Theodoridis), from Aelius Dionysius (omicron4); see also Appendix Proverbiorum 4.12 and other paroemiographers.
[1] Photius has 'a saying'. Theodoridis notes that Dindorf inserted the Suda's definite article, though he himself does not follow suit.
[2] Aristophanes fr. 47 Kock (and K.-A.). The noun here is not the headword phrase's o(dou=; it is transmitted as o(/rmou, though some would emend to oi)/mou ("path").
[3] From epsilon 1386. The part of the entry, from o(dw=| on, is lacking in manuscripts AFG; manuscripts V and M have it in different places. Adler regards it as an interpolation.
[4] Psalm 1.1 LXX.
