scholiast

Seiler thinks that only the Trojans used the battle-axe; perhaps for damaging the ships: he follows the scholiast.

The custom appears to have existed as late as the time of the scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius.

The Scholiast cites Plato ἐν τῇ Πολιτείᾳ, which seems a mistake for ἐν τῷ Σοφίστῃ.

The scholiast of the latter gives a description of the process, which exactly answers to the Mexican delineation.

And so too does the notice of the scholiast (after Apollodorus) on Sophocles, Oed.
