- cf. generally sigma 569. The present headword phrase, in the nominative case, appears, similarly glossed, in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon and other lexica; references at Photius tau407 Theodoridis. If (as seems reasonable to suppose) it is -- or stems from -- a quotation, a possible source is Xenophon, Cyropaedia 6.1.54 (genitive case). (Theodoridis cites Ruhnken's suggested link with Plato, Clitophon 407A, but the phrase used there is
mhxanh=s tragikh=s .) - 1Editors here routinely adopt Porson's emendation (in Photius) of the transmitted
