38. When this paper was ready for publication, we became aware of analysis of the signal from TeV blazars reported by the Fermi collaboration (39). Our analysis is consistent with the one of 139) and extends the results obtained in 139).

40. The cut-off energies of intrinsic spectra of H 2356-309 and 1ES 1101-232 could be so low that the flux of the cascade emission could be below Fermi upper bounds on GeV source flux. This is illustrated in the bottom graph of Fig. 1 for the case of 1ES 1101-1232 See SOM for more details.
