Notes (1)
- Quotation unidentifiable; Adler suggests -- on no discernible basis -- Symeon Metaphrastes or a context in Jacoby's FGrH 151 (an anonymous Alexander-history).
- 1Or, "a compound," perhaps referring to the formation of
paroli/gon from two words:par' o)li/gon (several instances in the Suda). (The glosssu/ntacis is lacking in ms. A.) ↩
