Notes
- This masculine noun is not much attested outside lexica and grammars (e.g. Pollux 7.199): see LSJ s.v. Garland-selling was more usually women's work. (An individual instance was perhaps the statuesque Phye, in Herodotus's story of Peisistratos' attempted coup in Athens [1.60]; Hdt. himself seems to have believed she was Athenian, but the Aristotelian Athenaion Politeia [14.4] reports a rival tradition that she was 'a Thracian garland-seller'.)
