Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica: see the references at Photius lambda227 Theodoridis.
For these in classical Athens see e.g. Lysias 9.6. (web address 1), Demosthenes 24.23 (web address 2). P.J. Rhodes, A Commentary on the Aristotelian Athenaion Politeia (Oxford 1981) 555 lists some alternatives to the present headword.
