Notes
- A compendium of senses/applications of the headword prytanis; probably from, at least influenced by, the scholia to (?)Aeschylus, Prometheus 169, where it occurs (in the phrase
maka/rwn pru/tanis , of Zeus: web address 1), and the scholiasts proffer several of these synonyms.
cf. pi 3000 (and under pi 938).
