Translated headword: Kiphesophon, Kephisophon
Vetting Status: high
Translation: This man was a slave.
Greek Original:*kifhsofw=n: dou=los h)=n ou(=tos.
Notes:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Frogs 944, where Kephisophon (sic) is mentioned (see web address 1). The Suda garbles his name both here and again at
mu 1242.
In context in
Frogs, as a poetic collaborator with
Euripides, K. is most unlikely to be a slave. What has happened is that the scholiast is recalling
Acharnians 393-403, where a slave of
Euripides opens the door of his house; a slave who is (unwarrantably) named "Kephisophon" in the manuscripts.
Aristophanes, Frogs, edited with introduction and commentary by K.J. Dover (Oxford 1993) 53-4
