Notes:
[1] =
Synagoge sigma148,
Photius sigma397 Theodoridis; cf.
Hesychius sigma1067, sigma1212. Probably from commentary to
Homer,
Iliad 13.564, where the headword occurs; cf.
scholia ad loc.
[2]
Callimachus,
Hecale fr. 368.
[3] Precise source unidentifiable, but evidently a variant of the many donkey-and-wolf fables in the Aesopic corpus; e.g.
Babrius 2.122.
