Greek original · Adler’s text

Φηγούσιον· Λυσίας ἐν τῷ Περὶ Βατράχων φόνου.

*fhgou/sion: *lusi/as e)n tw=| *peri\ *batra/xwn fo/nou.

Traill, Demos and Trittys (Toronto 1986) 126 (superseding The Political Organization of Attica (Princeton 1975) 38); D. Whitehead, The Demes of Attica (Princeton 1975) index s.v.
1So the nonsensical transmitted text, with "Frogs," *batra/xwn. In fact there was a single victim, an informer whose name (or nickname) was *ba/traxos, "Frog." See Lysias fr. 61 Sauppe (now 68b Carey OCT), correct in the Suda's source here, Harpokration s.v. ↩
