Notes:
[1] Actually quoted at the beginning of
Synesius'
Letter 127 (to his brother). The present headword, extracted from it, is accusative plural. Here it has been transmitted as La(o)kideans, but see more fully at
lambda 854,
phi 768, and the
Synesius passage itself (which goes on to mention 'Euthalios the Laodikean').
The Barrington
Atlas lists seven Near- or Middle-eastern cities called
Laodikeia/Laodicea; for two of them see also OCD(3) s.v. Laodicea.
