As Adler notes, Wentzel attributed this material to an early rhetorical lexicon used by the Suda's compilers (Adler, p. xvii; Wentzel, pp. 477-487). It is apparently the source of Bekker's Fifth Lexicon, the Λέξεις ῥητορικαί (Bekker, pp. 195-318).

[2] Lycurgus (ca. 390-324 BCE; Develin, person no. 1832) was an Athenian politician; cf. OCD(3) s.v. Lycurgus(3) and lambda 825. He initiated impeachment (εἰσαγγελία : cf. epsiloniota 220 and epsiloniota 221) proceedings in the Assembly, and--together with another Athenian citizen, a certain Ariston--later prosecuted Lycophron (n. 3) on a charge of treason, manifested in seduction. The trial probably took place in 333 BCE (Whitehead, p. 81).
[3] Lycurgus fr.63 Conomis. To the defense of Lycophron (Develin, person no. 1828) arose the renowned orator and politician Hyperides (389-322 BCE; Develin, person no. 1437; cf. OCD(3) s.v., upsilon 294, and upsilon 295). Defendant Lycophron was an Athenian horsebreeder, a prominent hipparch, and had for three years in fact been stationed on the island of Lemnos (northeast Aegean Sea; cf. generally lambda 448 and cross-references therein) at the time of his indictment; cf. Hyperides, In Defense of Lycophron 16-7 (web address 1 and web address 2). The verdict in the case is unknown (Whitehead, pp. 82-3).
