Notes (1)
- The headword, a feminine noun, is first attested in Thucydides, Xenophon and Plato.
- 1Quotation not identified by Adler, but Favuzzi [see under delta 654] 218-219 now points to close similarities with a passage of Cassius Dio (preserved in Zonaras' epitome) on an episode in the Second Punic War: see Dio vol.I p.248 Boissevain. ↩
