- 1cf. the scholia to Xenophon (Eranos 13 p.176 n.29), who uses this phrase several times, e.g. Anabasis 1.8.1, 2.1.7, Memorabilia 1.1.10. ↩

- 3Part of Nicolaus of Damascus FGrH 90 F22 (also in the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti De virtutibus). The subject is the Lydian king 'Kamblitas' (Kambles), so gluttonous that he butchered and ate his own wife; here he is about to express remorse and kill himself; cf. Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 10.415C-D (10.8 Kaibel). ↩
