Notes:
LSJ s.v. u(po/xalkos tentatively suggest that the headword phrase might be a fragment of comedy; and Adler notes Bernhardy's opinion that it is an imperfectly transmitted line of iambic verse. However, its only secure attestation is in Christian literature: Basil of Caesarea, Homilies on the Psalms PG 29.269 = John of Damascus, Sacra parallela PG 95.1369. See Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II pp.LXXV-LXXVI.
For see u(po/xalkos see also omicroniota 180.
