[1] From ps.-Herodian 115; cf. a scholiast on Lucian (136.3 Rabe).
[2] cf. pi 3159, sigma 396.
[3] cf. kappa 2071.
[4] Babrius 80.3-4.
[5] Aristophanes, Frogs 153, followed by comment from the scholia there. (For Kinesias cf. kappa 1639.) The phrase humorously augments the categories of offender to be encountered by visitors to the underworld.
[6] See delta 1029 and kappa 2647 for the poets of the "new dithyramb" and the attacks by the comic playwrights on them.
[7] For Kinesias' legislation to deprive the comic playwrights of their choregiai, probably in or shortly after 405 BCE, see delta 1029 note (based on the scholia to Aristophanes, Frogs 404).
[8] See also kappa 822 and tau 693. Aristophanes mentions this three times: Frogs 366, Ecclesiazusae 329-30, and Gerytades fr. 156.12-13 (PCG vol. 3.2).
[9] But Pherecrates (fr.155.8 PCG vol. 7) calls him "the cursed Attic" (= Athenian).
[10] Agathias, Histories 2.1; cf. sigma 1303. In the spring of 554 CE, the Byzantine general Narses (see nu 42, generally) gathers his armies in Rome and drills the soldiers; cf. Frendo (32). That the soldiers should practice springing up onto their horses suggests that stirrups as an aid to mounting were not in use in Narses's cavalry in mid-C6 CE. Indeed, although their adoption did spread quickly (Rance (357-358)), it appears that the Roman-Byzantine military began using stirrups (ska/lai, cf. sigma 520) only in the late 6th century (cf. Penn, et al. (129)). On ska/la as 'stirrup' in the Suda, see alpha 1811 note.
