Notes (1)
- See generally K.J. Dover in OCD(4) s.v. (p.214); Kassel-Austin, PCG 4.18f.
- 1Hesychius under kappa3452 appears to give this title (the only one we have) as
*tumpani/striai ("Priestesses of Sabazius"), but the reading there is regarded as dubious. In its Suda form it is also the name of a play by Sophocles. ↩
