Notes (2)

  1. 1From a scholion on Aristophanes Birds 102, where the hoopoe claims to be Tereus from Sophocles' play (web address 1). See also tau 531. For Io see iota 453. ↩
  2. 2That is, it is pronounced ta-hos. Compare tau 99; see LSJ at web address 2 for reference to the Attic pronunciation, citing Trypho in Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 9.57.2. ↩
