Translation: Aristophanes [writes]: "then I force them to vomit up all they have robbed from me [, probing down with a funnel]".[1] They say "to probe down" of a doctor sending a probe down into the throat, as those who vomit do.[2] The whole [passage] means that by voting against them and condemning them I force them to vomit out what they have robbed.[3]

Notes:
[1]
Aristophanes,
Knights 1150. The noun
khmo/s is properly a muzzle (
kappa 1519), but here it refers to the funnel-shaped mouth of a voting urn: see
kappa 1520 and LSJ s.v. II.2.
[2] From the
scholia ad loc. The sense is corroborated in
Phrynichus fr. 62 Kock, now 66 K.-A.:
e)/mei katamhlw=n "he vomited by sending a probe down [his throat]". The verb is defined in more detail in
kappa 649 and
kappa 652.
[3] Again taken from the
scholia ad loc.
