Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at
Photius sigma417 Theodoridis. '
Sicily' is a mistake for
Cilicia (cf. under
sigma 776). See also
beta 104,
theta 242, and
sigma 782.
[2] For
Solon, and this particular (improbable) assertion about him, see already under
sigma 776.
[3] From
Choeroboscus on
Theodosius (
Grammatici Graeci 4.2.2.6-7). The lexicographer offers an alternative derivation for "solecism": from "wrenching" (
ai)kismo/s) and "sound" (
sw=|os) and "speech" (
lo/gos).
[4] This etymology has already been given at
lambda 112, and reappears at
sigma 788; but see the note to
lambda 112.
