Aristophanes in
Thesmophoriazusae [writes]: "and besides, it's unaesthetic [
amouson] to see a poet who looks like a hairy yokel. Think of the famous
Ibycus and
Anacreon of
Teos", etc.[1]

Notes:
The headword adjective, which literally means Muse-less, has the same or similar glossing in other lexica. It is neuter plural, evidently quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, where it is neuter singular); extant possibilities are all post-classical.
