Notes
- From Harpokration s.v. The particular bearer of this name which generated the entry cannot be identified, but a strong contender must be D. of Megalopolis (C3 BCE), a politically active philosopher: see Polybius 10.22.2, Plutarch Philopoimen 1 ('Megalophanes' there) and generally R.M. Errington in OCD(4) s.v.; cf. phi 409.
