Notes:
[1] =
Photius pi1564 Theodoridis, though the headword there is
purirragh/s rather than the Suda's
purorragh/s. Theodoridis suggests that the Suda's version is a deliberate correction based on the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 933; see next note.
[2] From commentary on
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 933, where the neuter singular form of the headword appears (while the lemma used here is plural, as in the subsequent quotation from
Cratinus).

Cratinus fr. 253 Kock, 273 K.-A.

Aristophanes; see n. 2 above.
