Λύκειον· γυμνάσιον Ἀθήνησιν, ὅπου πρὸ τοῦ πολέμου ἐδόκει γυμνάζεσθαι, πρὸ γὰρ τῶν ἐξόδων ἐξοπλίσεις τινὲς ἐγίνοντο ἐν τῷ Λυκείῳ, διὰ τὸ παρακεῖσθαι τῇ πόλει, καὶ ἀποδείξεις τῶν μᾶλλον πολεμικῶν ἀνδρῶν.

Notes (1)
- See also lambda 802. The present entry derives from the scholia to Aristophanes, Peace 356 (web address 1). For the Lykeion as a parade-ground cf. Xenophon, Hellenica 1.1.33.
- 1The phraseology is slightly different in the scholion:
e)do/koun rather than the Suda'se)do/kei . ↩
