  1. The headword is perhaps (though not demonstrably) extracted from the quotation given.
  2. 1Same two glosses (but in reverse order) already in Hesychius pi612. Cf. tau 775 and tau 776. ↩
  3. 2Philip II (382-336), father of Alexander III, The Great (alpha 1121 and OCD(4) s.v.), ruled Macedon 359-336 (phi 354 and OCD(4) s.v.) ↩
  4. 3Amyntas III was king of Macedon 393-370; cf. kappa 356; epsilon 739; OCD(4) s.v.; and Hammond and Griffith, p.176. ↩
  5. 4Polybius 8.9.1 (cf. the online version, web address 1, in which this extract has become 8.11), describing the motivation of Theopompus (theta 172; pi 2039 note, generally; and OCD(4) s.v.) to compose his 58-volume Philippika.
