Notes:
On
Xenophon (c.428-c.354) see generally C.J.Tuplin on OCD(3) s.v., and again
xi 48. For the present material cf.
Diogenes Laertius 2.48, 52, 55-57.
[1] The more authentic spelling is Gryllos.
[2] The nickname obviously indicates (what is otherwise not directly attested) that they were twins; cf.
delta 1209. On "Grylos" see the preceding note. (The spelling is correct in
gamma 463, from Harpokration.)
[3] 400-397. For
Plato see
pi 1707.
