Notes:
[1] Aristophanes, Acharnians 823 (where Valckenaer corrected to Megarian dialect: φαντάδδομαι ), with comment similar to that in the scholia there. For sykophants - malicious informers/prosecutors - see generally sigma 1330, sigma 1332.
[2] Gregory of Nazianzus PG 36, 192c.
[3] i.e. the headword verb is found in place of several meanings of the verb phainein (including the legal procedure of phasis, disclosure/exposure).
