Notes
- (Mis)quoted from Theophylact Simocatta, Letters 43, which refers to a eunuch:
to\ texnhto\n gu/naion, to\ digene\s h(mia/ndrion ("the artificial woman, the double-sexed half-man").
For Simocatta, who is frequently quoted in the Suda, see also theta 201 and sigma 435.
For eunuchs, see also alpha 3822 and epsilon 3604.
