Now I have to go brush up on Proclus's reading of Timaeus...!
Well, fair is fair! You got me back into the Commedia. ;-)
The especially juicy bits are near the end of Book I of Proclus' (sprawling!) Timaeus Commentary, especially on 23d6-7 (where Athene receives the city as her lot) and especially 24c5-7 (where Athene *chooses* it, and Proclus explains the interplay between divine choice and divine lot). But there are some other small references too.
