Notes (1)

  1. = Photius pi568 Theodoridis.
    The information is tantalizing as it stands. Every month, or particular months? And why?
  2. 1Menander fr. 512 Kock (403 K.-A.). For seduction (a better modern equivalent than the traditional rendering 'adultery') see generally mu 1357, mu 1368, mu 1359, mu 1360. ↩
