Notes (2)

  1. See also pi 2105.
  2. 1An abridgment of Harpokration s.v., commenting on Hyperides fr. 123 Jensen (= the bare mention of this month-name). There, however, the numeral transmitted is (wrongly) 'second'. See further, next note. ↩
  3. 2This equivalence (lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF but added in the margin of A) wrongly assumes the correctness of Harpok.'s numeral. ↩
