Translation
A Salaminian as to genos; [one] of those among [the] Athenians not from those who had been in political life.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Μυροκλῆς· Σαλαμίνιος τὸ γένος, τῶν παρ' Ἀθηναίων οὐκ ἄπο πολιτευσαμένων.
Betacode

Notes
- An entry textually garbled, both here and in Photius (mu608 Theodoridis), but it can be corrected in the light of its more distant source, Harpokration. The authentic version of the name is Moirokles/Moerocles, and the second half of the entry should read
tw=n par' *)aqhnai/ois ou)k a)fanw=s politeusame/nwn , "[he was one] of those among [the] Athenians who had engaged in public life in no inconspicuous way".
On the genos of the Salaminioi - much the best-attested of the Athenian "clans" - see generally Robert Parker, Athenian Religion (Oxford 1996) 308-316.
