Note:
Aristophanes,
Birds 787-788 (web address 1: the Suda's
e)kpeto/menos needs for metrical reasons to be
e)kto/menos), immediately preceded by an explanation from the
scholia to 787. The rephrasing and presentation of this quotation as a proverb is not, however, reflected either in the
scholia or in the paroemiographers.
