(e.g. Vesp. 145, 897), see Taillardat, Les images d'Aristophane p. 423 ff., and cf. the perversion of Horn. Od. vii. 120 attributed to Aristotle (D.L. v. 9).

page 249 note 1 For the generalized use even in a technical reference, cf. Dem. xxxix. 16 δ⋯κην ⋯στρατε⋯ας (although this was a γραφ⋯).

page 249 note 6 See my article, ‘Death of a Fighting Cock’, C.R. lxxx (1966), 4–5. With regard to hoopoes and cocks, one might cite Hsch. ἔπωπα ⋯λεκτρυ⋯ναἅγριον.
page 250 note 1 The occurrence of Callias and Midias together in Luc. J.Tr1. 48, J.Conf. 16, suggests a regular association of this pair.
page 250 note 2 Cf. Plat. Alc.I 1120 a, Plat. Com. fr. 108. According to Phryn. fr. 41, however, he was also περ⋯ ⋯λ⋯κτορας ⋯σπουδακώς.
