Notes
- From the scholia to Aristophanes, Thesmophoriazusae 834 (and more fully in other lexica), where proedria -- preferential fronts seats (pi 2381) -- at these two festivals is mentioned. See web address 1.
For the Skira cf. sigma 623, sigma 626. Of the Stenia, much less is known, but see H.W. Parke, Festivals of the Athenians (London 1977) 88.
