Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at
Photius omicron561 Theodoridis. The headword phrase is probably quoted from
Thucydides, who has several instances of the idiom (e.g. 6.34.9, 8.82.8).
[2] Arrian,
Parthica fr. 29 Roos; more fully under
tau 947.
[3] Quotation (with infinitive, probably in indirect discourse) unidentifiable. (Gaisford attributed it to
Aelian.)
[4] Quotation unidentifiable; transmitted (like the previous two quotations) via the
Excerpta made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus.
