(Entry lacking, Adler reports, in mss TF.)
The headword phrase quotes (loosely)
Aristophanes,
Peace 874, and these are the glosses of
scholia on the verb in it. The complete phrase is "Theoria, whom once we used to bang (on the way) to
Brauron" (web address 1). See generally J. Henderson,
The Maculate Muse (New Haven 1975) 171 #308 on
pai/ein (and 162 #260 on
e)lau/nein). Implicit here seems to be the idea of sexual licence at or in connection with the Brauronia festival.
For
Brauron see
beta 521, and generally Robin Osborne,
Demos (Cambridge 1985) 154-72.
