Translation: "If anyone were to wing [K]leokritos with Kinesias, and the winds were to bear [them] over the sea's plain." Comedy makes fun of Kinesias for being very slender and for being an alien and a toady. Mention was made of the two of them as being like-minded. Or because Kinesias was slender, and [K]leokritos a scoundrel. So he is saying that if anyone were to encompass Kinesias with [K]leokritos instead of wings, so that they were carried in mid air, the outcome will be their death once they are airborne.
