Notes:
The headword phrase slightly misquotes one in
Aristophanes,
Peace 607, which occurs in full, similarly misquoted, in the entry itelf: see note 1 below. The original reads
au)toda\c tro/pon, not
au)to/dacon tropon. The correct form
au)toda/c appears in the second quotation from
Aristophanes (note 2 below) and in the last sentence of the entry.
