That is, in bribe-fashion. Aristophanes [writes]: "[they say that he was apt] to fit only the Dorian-mode harmony as regards the lyre, and not be willing to accept any other."
Greek Original:
*dwristi/: toute/sti dwrodokisti/. *)aristofa/nhs: th\n *dwristi\ mo/nhn a(rmoni/an a(rmo/ttesqai qama\ th\n lu/ran, a)/llhn d' ou)k e)qe/lein labei=n.
Notes:
An approximation of Aristophanes, Knights 989-991 (web address 1), with scholion. The latter explains that, in reference here to the young Kleon (kappa 1731), there is a play on *dwristi/ and dwrodo/kos etc. (delta 1468, delta 1469, delta 1470, delta 1471).
Cross-referenced at tau 517; see also kappa 409; and for the Dorian mode see delta 1461, delta 1462.
