Notes:
Adler notes that this entry is lacking in manuscript A and placed after
omicron 664 in F and V. She regards it as an interpolation.
[1] The nominative plural headword is evidently taken from the quotation which follows. cf. generally
omicron 688.
[2]
Philostratus,
Life of Apollonius of Tyana 1.7; quoted also at
