Notes (2)
- 1Often used in a more precise sense to mean a full Spartan citizen, one of the so-called Equals; see e.g. under alpha 2371, alpha 3064, lambda 824. ↩
- 2Genitive plural of the headword, here in Ionic dialect; probably quoted from Herodotus, who has 42 instances. (For other Suda instances see under epsilon 1290, upsilon 206.) ↩
