Comment |
Kaldellis (2015: 76): 'This is a historical scholion on Thucydides’ explanation of the name Italy as coming from “Italos, some king of the Sikels. Thus was Italy named.” Tzetzes picks up from that “thus.”'
Mészáros (2013: 74, n. 25): "The source of Tzetzes was probably Apollod. II 5, 10." |
