Note:
From Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; same or similar glossing in other lexica (references at Photius pi1101 Theodoridis). Though the headword occurs in comedy, the passage that has generated the present entry is probably Plato, Sophist 220C (accusative plural); Timaeus explicitly mentions Plato in his adjacent, longer entry on the same word.
