*korri/dhs: o( *so/lwn e)ke/klhto patrwnumikw=s.

The father of the Athenian sage and lawgiver Solon was named Exekestides (sigma 776), but the family claimed descent from King Kodros; hence Kodrides or, as here, Korrides. Tiberius Hemsterhuis (1685 - 1766) suggested emending the text here to *kodri/dhs.
