Ὀδύσσεια. καὶ Ὀδύσσειος μηχανή, ἐπὶ τῶν πανούργων. ὁ δὲ καταδὺς εἰς πᾶσαν Ὀδύσσειον καὶ πολύπλοκον μηχανὴν τὸν βίον ἤνυε. καὶ αὖθις: Ὀδύσσειόν τινα καὶ Θεμιστόκλειον παρεληλυθὼς πανουργίαν. ζήτει Ὀδυσσέως περὶ κλοπῆς Παλλαδίου ἐν τῷ Διομήδειος ἀνάγκη.
Notes:
[1] The nominative headword itself (also at
omicron 251) is unglossed.
[2] Sounds proverbial, but not in the paroemiographers. See in any event the quotation which follows.
[3] Bernhardy attributed this quotation to
Eunapius. Cf.
kappa 539.
[4] Attributed to
Damascius,
Life of Isidore fr.27 Zintzen (21 Asmus), and quoted at greater length at
epsilon 3543; Adler, however, follows Valckenaer in favoring
Aelian, an attribution to which Bernhardy is also tentatively receptive (altering somewhat the opinion he expresses at
epsilon 3543). For
Themistocles see
theta 124,
theta 125,
theta 126.
[5]
Delta 1164.
