Notes:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 288, where the phrase
to\ pro\s po/lin to\ simo/n ("the uphill (part of my road) towards the (acro)polis") occurs. Henderson comments: "Of any uphill path (Xen.
Hell. 4.3.23), here perhaps referring to a particular section of the path approaching the Propylaia" -- i.e. the ceremonial gateway to the Acropolis. For a related sense of the headword see
sigma 437.
