Notes (1)
- The unglossed headword is mistakenly repeated from pi 1659 (q.v.); it should have been Pittalakos/Pittalacus, the individual mentioned in the quotation. His name had evidently become a byword for pederasty since Aeschines' prosecution of Demosthenes' associate Timarchos in 346/5.
For Pittalakos see under tau 595. - 1Greek Anthology 5.278.6 (Agathias Scholasticus). ↩
