Adler number: alpha,110
Translated headword: after bread a barley cake is good too
Vetting Status: high
Translation: In reference to those who give or take second-best.[1]
*ma/za [barley cake] has an acute [accent]; for a circumflex does not occur before the position of a long vowel.[2]
Aristophanes, though, gives
ma/za a circumflex: "bring, bring a barley cake for the dung-beetle as quick as you can."[3]

Notes:
All except the first sentence of this entry is reported by Adler as a marginal gloss in manuscripts A (= Parisinus 2625) and M (=
Marcianus 448).
[1] cf.
Zenobius 1.12.
[2] Yet in classical Attic, the final syllable is short, so the first syllable can have a circumflex:
ma=za. See LSJ (web address 1).

Aristophanes,
Peace 1 (web address 2); again at
alphaiota 280 and
alphaiota 299. In the
Aristophanes passage the word is not actually used for cakes of barley but for cakes of dung.
