Notes:
The first and principal paragraph of this entry is also in
Photius (tau257 Theodoridis); see also the other references there.
[1] The headword stems from the phrase
th\n a)/llws; see LSJ s.v.
a)/llws, II.3. Same or similar glossing in other lexica and grammars.
[2] Philemon fr. 51 Kock (54 K.-A.).
[3] Such a phrase, here as elsewhere, is simply a periphrasis for
Demosthenes himself. In
Demosthenes th\n a)/llws (two words) occurs four times: 3.21, 19.181, 19.336, and (missed by Theodoridis)
Exordia 43.2.

Malchus by Bernhardy; now
Malchus fr. 29 Cresci.
