Notes:
[1] The headword is feminine dative plural of this adjective (for which see also
sigma 1700). It must be quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities. Same glossing in the
Synagoge (sigma391) and
Photius (sigma847 Theodoridis), and cf. already e.g.
Hesychius sigma2823-2824.
[2]
Aristophanes,
Plutus [
Wealth] 754, with scholion.
[3] The source of this phrase is unidentifiable, but there is a very similar one --
suxno\n xrusi/ion -- in
Polybius (21.38.3) and
Plutarch (
Demetrius 27.12;
Moralia 258E, 579E).
[4] cf.
epsilon 805, where this unidentifiable passage (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) is quoted more fully.
[5]
Iamblichus,
Babyloniaca fr. 84 Habrich; cf.
pi 2026.
