Notes

  1. Likewise in other lexica; references at Photius pi220 Theodoridis. The headword phrase must be quoted from somewhere, but the possibilities are too numerous to identify any particular passage. See e.g. Pindar, Olympians 2.16 (30), with Doric para\ di/kan; Euripides, Iphigeneia in Aulis 397; Thucydides 3.52.2, 3.84.1; Plato, Laws 757E; Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews 4.299, 6.280, 18.222.
