Proverbial -- with this explanation, but without '
Aristophanes' -- in
Zenobius 3.36; see generally Tosi [cited under
alpha 378] no.1625. A hexameter line, with hiatus between
u(po/dhma and
a)ristero/n.
The '
Aristophanes' in question here was once thought to be the comic poet (fr. 914 Kock), but the attribution by Nauck and Dindorf to
Aristophanes of
Byzantium (
alpha 3933) has prevailed: fr.361 Slater.
