Notes
- From glosses on Herodotus 1.27.5, where this phrase occurs. It refers to King Croesus of Lydia (kappa 2497, kappa 2498, kappa 2499, kappa 2500) and his wish to be friendly with the Greeks of Asia Minor (text at web address 1).
For the noun in the phrase, here in Ionic dialect, cf. xi 27; and see also xi 36.
