Notes
- The headword phrase (not identified by Adler) quotes Philo Judaeus (Philo of Alexandria), de decalogo 66. (For 'minister' cf. pi 2571, pi 2573, pi 2574; for 'attendant' cf. theta 228, theta 228.)
The body of the entry, connected with the headword only by dint of using the word propolos, comes from Diogenes Laertius' couplets about Aristotle (DL 5.8). For the episode, from 323 BCE, cf. Athenaeus, Deipnosophistai 15.696A-697B (15.51-52 Kaibel). Deo is Demeter (delta 483).
