Greek original · Adler’s text
Γωνία· ἡ τοῦ οἴκου. καὶ Γωνιασμὸς Λυσίας ἐν τῷ κατὰ Λυσιθέου, εἰ ἔστι γνήσιος. κάμψαντι, φησὶ, τοῦ τείχους, ὦ βουλὴ, ἐστὶ γωνιασμὸς ἐν ἀριστερᾷ καὶ εὐρυχωρία πάνυ πολλή. καὶ Γωνιασμούς, ἀποφυγὰς, ἀπαγωγάς. Ἀριστοφάνης· ἔδειξα τουτουσὶ λεπτῶν κανόνων εἰσβολὰς ἐπῶν τε γωνιασμούς.

- See also gamma 413.
- 1Similarly in the Ambrosian Lexicon (according to Adler) and elsewhere. ↩
- 2The source of this paragraph is Harpokration s.v.
gwniasmo/s , with some omissions and modifications. ↩ - 3In their editions of Harpokration both Dindorf and Keaney have
ei) gnh/sios ("if genuine") instead of theei) e)/sti gnh/sios of the Suda. In Harpokration the quotation from (?)Lysias begins withe)/sti de\ ka/myanti ("there is for one following the bends...") instead of the Suda'ska/myanti . The Suda may have transposed thee)/sti . ↩ - 4Lysias fr.158 Sauppe, now 210 Carey OCT. The case was one of wounding by premeditation (and the several other citations of it do not query Lysianic authorship). ↩
- 5Aristophanes, Frogs 956 (web address 1); Euripides speaking. However, the introductory words "I showed them..." occur neither in Aristophanes nor in Harpokration, but are a paraphrase of the line of dialogue that Euripides speaks shortly before this one (954:
e)/peita toutousi\ lalei=n e)di/daca ). ↩
