Notes:
The headword, again at
pi 2192, is a feminine noun in the nominative (and vocative) singular; see generally LSJ s.v. As Adler notes in her critical apparatus, Wentzel [below] attributed this passage to an early rhetorical lexicon consulted by the Suda's compilers (Adler, p. xvii; Wentzel, pp. 477-487). It is apparently the source of Bekker's fifth lexicon, the
Lexeis rhetorikai (Bekker, pp. 195-318).
[1] Adler reports that ms G reads not
u(po/ but
e)pi/:
laid down to the orators; also that ms A reads
tinos (
for their efforts in some disputations) and
pra/gmati (
applying in a grievance).
[2]
Dinarchus fr. 87 Conomis. (For
Dinarchus, c.360-c.290 BCE, see
delta 333 and OCD(4) s.v.) Adler notes Bernhardy's realisation that the name of the defendant in this speech should more probably be Menesaikhmos/Menesaechmus, as in
Lycurgus' speech of that name; cf.
lambda 825,
pi 2420 (end).
