Notes:
Much of this entry, including the quotation of
Sophocles (n. 1), is derived from a scholion to the first
Aristophanes passage quoted (n. 2), which cites
Callistratus and
Euphronius as grammatical authorities. The form of the headword (nominative singular) is either an extract from the
Sophocles quotation or a generic lexical reference. See also
Pollux 7.70,
Hesychius sigma1542,
Photius sigma469 Theodoridis.

Sophocles fr. 11 Radt, i.e. not from

Ajax but a lost play about a different Ajax, Ajax son of Oileus of Locris, also known as Ajax the Less (cf. generally
alphaiota 9).
[2]
Aristophanes,
Birds 933-4, with the headword in the accusative singular.
