Notes:
Likewise or similarly in other lexica (references at
Photius pi926 Theodoridis), and cf. the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 5.245, where the adjective
a)pe/leqron ("immeasurable") occurs. The present headword, neuter plural, is extracted from
Plato,
Alcibiades 1 123C; cf. the
scholia there.

[2] So the transmitted text, but in the other lexica the numeral is, correctly, 66. See further under
pi 1720.
