Greek Original:
*xarienti/zeis kai\ katapai/zeis h(mw=n kai\ bwmoloxeu/h|. *dama/skios: kinduneu/omen ei)s au)ta\ e)mpeptwke/nai ta\ tw=n xarie/ntwn skw/mmata.
Notes:
The headword phrase is a version of a contextless line of verse attributed to Aristophanes (fr. 161 Kock, now 171 K.-A.) in a scholion to Plato, Republic 436D and in Etymologicum Magnum 807.18-19; cf. (without the actual quotation) Harpokration s.v. bwmoloxeu/esqai, and see also chi 106.
According to LSJ, classical writers use the middle voice of this verb, i.e. xarienti/zomai (as at Republic 436D), and this is achieved in the Aristophanic line by the simple expedient of changing its initial xarienti/zeis to xarienti/zei.
[1] Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 149 Zintzen (88 Asmus); it quotes Republic 452B.
