Notes (2)

  1. = Phrynichus, Praeparatio sophistica fr.332. (It is not clear why Adler called this a false attribution.)
  2. 1The headword is the aorist passive participle of metewri/zw in the genitive plural, as in the quotation given. For this verb cf. mu 765. ↩
  3. 2Diodorus Siculus 15.69.1; the first clause (including the headword) is quoted verbatim, the second summarises the rest of the chapter. (See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II pp.LXXVI-LXXVII.) For Chabrias, an Athenian general of the C4 BCE, see xi 33, chi 1. ↩
