Notes (2)
- 1Nowhere extant in Josephus, but rather identified as an Athenian comic fragment (Comica adespota fr. 1381 Kock, now 199 K.-A.); so as Bernhardy suspected, the name here must be corrupt. (His suggestion was Hegesippus, for whom see under eta 57.) For the chalkous see chi 55. ↩
- 2Same explanation in Pausanias the Atticist and elsewhere. ↩
