Adler number: beta,392

Vetting Status: high
Translation: Aristophanes [sc. uses this word]. Meaning o most disruptive one: disrupting and confusing our city like muck; filling the city with confusion and muck.[1]
And [there is] a proverb: "by staining clear water with muck you will never find drink"; in reference to those who mix the most beautiful things with the most shameful.[2]
Interpretation of dreams: obvious muck is an uncleanliness of the soul. A voyage through slime means mental damage.[3]
