From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 13-14, where the following phrase (garbled by the present lemma) occurs: "I was pleased when, after Moschos, Dexitheos came in singing in the Boiotian mode".

kithara see
kappa 1590 (and cf.
kappa 1591).

tau 354.
[3] The word for 'Phrygian' here is in the masculine singular, implying that a Phrygian man also invented the Boeotian mode just like
Terpander. This is probably a mistake, however; the
scholia have the neuter form of the adjective (
τὸ Φρύγιον ), making the reference not to a Phrygian person but the Phrygian mode, also said to be invented by
Terpander.
