Aristophanes,
Acharnians 893-4 (web address 1), itself a parody of
Euripides,
Alcestis 367-8 (web address 2). The preceding comments are drawn verbatim from the
scholia to the
Aristophanes passage. Some editions of
Aristophanes print a conjecture of F.H.M. Blaydes (1818-1908),
e)nteteutliwme/nhs, in place of the headword in its present form, but the paradosis reading is defended by Olson, among others. In place of 'be separated' (
xwrisqei/hn), the mss of
Aristophanes read 'be separate' (
xwri\s ei)/hn).
