Notes:
The headword, accusative plural, is tacitly quoted from
Aristophanes,
Wasps 676. The glossing combines comment from the
scholia on that verse with
scholia from the another Aristophanic passage, explicitly quoted.

Photius,
Lexicon s.v.
yilodapi/das (and
psi 102): 'smooth-rugs: that is what they call rugs that are smooth and not fleecy'

Aristophanes,
Wealth [
