[1] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via TLG searching as an approximation (and abbreviation) of Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 9.20.1. The Suda's "twice" (di\s), questioned by Adler (locus haud integer), should be dia\, "because of" (the reading anyway, Adler reports, of Suda mss GM).
