Headword:
*)egglwttoga/stwr.
*)egglwttoga/stores
Adler number: epsilon,141
Translated headword: tongue-belly
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Tongue-bellies, those who make their living by their tongues, like e)gxeiroga/stores, those [who do so] by their hands.
Greek Original:*)egglwttoga/stwr. *)egglwttoga/stores, oi( a)po\ th=s glw/tths bioteu/ontes, w(s *)egxeiroga/stores, oi( a)po\ tw=n xeirw=n.
Notes:
Same material, variously, in other lexica and grammars -- all stemming from the use of the mock-ethnographic headword in
Aristophanes (
Birds 1695, 1702).
For the comparandum given (which has its own entry at
epsilon 181), LSJ's challenging citation 'Cleanth.ap.Clearch.16' is corrected in the Supplement to 'Anon.ap.Ath.1.4d'. In effect this means that in
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 1.4D (1.1 Kaibel), the passing allusion to
e)gxeiroga/stores is to be dissociated from the name of
Cleanthes of
Tarentum (a sympotic versifier mentioned only there). Perhaps more to the point in the present context is the fact that a play of this name is attributed to another poet of Old Comedy, Nicophon: see
nu 406.
