Old Comedy (mid fifth century BCE); see generally K.J. Dover in OCD(4) s.v. Crates(1).
[1] Not otherwise known. Perhaps a mistake for the comic poet of that name. See G. Kaibel 'Epilykos (3)' in RE 6,1 cols.158-159.
[2] The titles of only six plays are given; Jungermann proposed adding Tolmai. But the Greek signs for the numerals six and seven were easily confused by a copyist.
[3] Perhaps the play by Kallias, and so wrongly attributed here. See Korte col.1624 ; The Rivals of Aristophanes p. 513.

[1] The implicit cross-reference is to kappa 2339. This second Krates -- PCG refers to him as Crates II (saec. V/IV) -- is not mentioned elsewhere.

c.368/5 - 288/5 BCE. See generally OCD(4) s.v. Crates(2) and Cynics. The bulk of the present entry derives from Diogenes Laertius 6.85-88, with extra material from Philostratus and elsewhere.
[1] See D.L. 6.88 (citing Demetrius of Magnesia). The point was not to punish the sons but to recognize that, if philosophers, they would have no need of money.
[2] That is, the marriage of one cynic to another. For Hipparchia see iota 517.
[3] 328-325. The Suda actually says that Krates was "born" then, but for "flourished", h)/kmaze, see D.L. 6.87.
[4] cf. theta 606.
[5] cf. beta 492 (with the note there) and theta 19.
[6] For these two lines of iambic verse cf. D.L. 6.86.
[7] 1.13.
[8] alpha 1981.

C2 BC. Cf. gamma 506, and see generally: RE Krates(16); OCD4 Crates(3).
[1] In Cilicia.
[2] For an important essay on the nature of the literary activity of Crates and the Kritikoi/, as revealed through their influence on Philodemus, see R. Janko's edition 128-34.
[3] alpha 3892.
[4] Ptolemy VI (reigned 180-145).

The headword is a masculine noun in the nominative plural; again tau 139, and see generally LSJ s.v. tarso/s.
[1] The glosses are of the same grammatical form as the headword. The first, as indicated, has the sense of baskets in general, and the second is an alternative spelling for the Attic lemma; see generally LSJ s.v. ta/laros, and cf. tau 38, tau 39, and tau 129 (gloss). The headword is glossed similarly in Photius' Lexicon and identically in Etymologicum Magnum 747.1 (Kallierges), which also cites the rhetorical lexica of Aelius Dionysius and Pausanias (the grammarian); cf. Aelius Dionysius fr. 305 (Schwabe), from Eustathius, Commentary on the Odyssey 1625.16.
[2] This imagery is given by LSJ s.v. tarso/s II.2; it is used for any broad, flat surface (cf. tau 130, gloss), such as the blade of an oar or, perhaps collectively, a layered bank of such blades working one side of a trireme (see n.4). There, the overlaid rows of oars might bring to mind the structure of a bird's wing, whose feathers are laid in rows over one another (next note); Morrison, et al., p. 16.
[3] Thus, the extended flat of a bird's wing; cf. Aelian, De natura animalium 2.1.12 Hercher (web address 1) and LSJ s.v. tarso/s II.3.
[4] The accusative plural form of the headword, tarsou/s, appears at Thucydides 7.40.5 (web address 2), which describes an episode during the Athenian siege of Syracuse in Sicily (414-413 BCE). The defenders used small, light boats to penetrate under the blades of the oars and draw up alongside the Athenian ships; at such close range, Syracusan javelin throwers were able to inflict severe casualties on the Athenian rowing crews; Lazenby, p. 156.

The Attic headword, already at tau 138, is the nominative plural of the masculine noun tarro/s; see generally LSJ s.v. tarso/s. The entry is generated from an instance of the headword's genitive singular form (tarrou=) in the subsequent quotation: see further below.
[1] This gloss, and indeed the rest of the entry, follows the scholia to the quotation given. [In her critical apparatus Adler reports that ms F reads sxoini/wn.]
[2] cf. tau 38, tau 39.
[3] Aristophanes, Clouds 226 (web address 1): Strepsiades sarcastically asks why Socrates is suspended in mid-air.
[4] This is the generally accepted ancient interpretation; see Dover pp. 126-7. [Adler reports that ms G transmits u(f': under which Socrates was hanging suspended; that mss FV read e)kkremw=ntai (from which hens hang), whereas written above in ms V is koimw=ntai, which the Suda transmits; and that ms F reads th\n toiau/thn.]
