Notes:
[1] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Frogs 897, where the headword phrase (accusative case) occurs. The 'competitive'/'quarrelsome' sense of this adjective -- #1 in LSJ s.v. -- is the correct one in this instance (and cf.
delta 11,
delta 17,
delta 19, etc.), though the connection with
dah=nai is registered as sense #2 there.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler suggests
Aelian.)
