Notes (2)
- 1From the scholia to Aristophanes, Knights 798, where the headword phrase occurs, of Demos ("to be a five-obol heliast in Arcadia"): web address 1. ↩
- 2Not quite. This word (involving a different sense of 'obol') means a five-pronged fork; cf. the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 3.460, where it occurs: web address 2. ↩
