Δημαίνετος· ὄνομα κύριον.

Betacode

*dhmai/netos: o)/noma ku/rion.

Notes

= Harpokration s.v. (which is untypically brief).
Though the name is too common to permit certainty as to which of its bearers generated the entry, one might suggest D. the Athenian general (and admiral) of the 380s BCE; he is mentioned retrospectively in Aeschines 2.78 as well as in Xenophon, Hellenica 5.1.10 & 26.
