Notes
- In a loose/ethnic sense, any citizen of Chalcis (the main city on the island of Euboea, Barrington Atlas map 55 grid F4). (For instances see epsilon 3801, lambda 568, lambda 827.) But individual bearers of this name are also attested, notably a Spartan admiral (late C5 BCE) mentioned throughout Thucydides book 8.
