Notes (1)

  1. In this entry and the immediately following one the headword is the aorist active participle (masculine nominative singular) of sunta/ssw, extracted from a quotation given. In sigma 1622 the source is explicitly Polybius, and the same has been assumed here too.
  2. 1Polybius fr. 228 B-W. There were several places called Elaia; the one in question here is probably the Attalids' port and naval base for Pergamum (Barrington Altas map 56 grid E4). ↩
