Notes: 
[1] On the katonake see already 
kappa 1114. This genitive singular of the noun is probably quoted (despite what follows: see next note) from 
Aristophanes, 
Lysistrata 1155.
[2] 
Aristophanes, 
Ecclesiazusae 724 (web address 1), preceded by comment from the 
scholia there. See generally J. Henderson, 
The Maculate Muse (New Haven 1975) 131-2, #110 on 
xoi=ros as cunt and #111 on female genital depilation. But to be depilated "katonake-fashion" must mean either 
not depilated (so Ussher ad loc.) or else depilated roughly and crudely.
Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae, edited with introduction and commentary by R.G.Ussher (Oxford 1973 and reprints).
