Notes
- cf. Hesychius sigma1869; Synagoge alpha519; Photius, Lexicon alpha579. The phrase is derived from an iambic trimeter ascribed by Hesychius to Cratinus' lost comedy Delian Women (fr. 22 Kock, now 24 K.-A.). See also generally Hesychius sigma1801, sigma1802. Repeated at sigma 1074.
For the Hyperboreans see generally upsilon 247, upsilon 248.
