Notes (4)
- On this noun (related to the verb
ta/ssw , tau 151), see generally LSJ s.v. Besides its general application in poetry such as is quoted here, it had a specific attestation as the ancestral commander of the Thessalians. - 1Same glossing in ps.-Zonaras; similarly in the scholia to the Aristophanes and Homer passages about to be quoted. ↩
- 2Aristophanes, Knights 159 (though instead of the unmetrical
*)aqhnai/wn , in the Suda and elsewhere, read*)aqhnw=n "Athens"). What follows here comes from the scholia there. ↩ - 3A version (also in Herodian and the Aristophanic scholia) of Homer, Iliad 23.160. The alternative, preferred by most modern editors, has not
oi( tagoi/ butoi( t' a)goi/ ; cf. generally under alpha 314 (end). ↩ - 4Greek Anthology 7.243.5-6 (the last elegiac couplet in an epigram ascribed to Lollius Bassus: but read
e)mei=’ eu)bo/struxon ei)ko/na qhro/s instead of the Suda'se)mei=o boo/struxon ei)ko/na qh/rhs ). ↩
