The headword verb -- again alpha 1701 -- is an amusing coinage from a)mfi\... *foi=be a)/nac. The translation given above (and in LSJ) should be taken with a grain of salt. It derives solely from the scholia to Aristophanes, Clouds 595, which say that both dithyrambic poets (cf. delta 1029) and citharodes (such as Terpander, who sang their compositions to accompany the cithara) were mocked because they used the phrase too much. It applies then equally to both classes of poets.
[1] Adler does print "Periander" [pi 1067, pi 1068], the manuscript reading; but the Aristophanic scholia from which this material comes show that it should be Terpander [tau 354] (fr. 2). In any case see alpha 1701.
