kappa 1954.
[1] An ungrammatical approximation (the Suda's
au)th/n, accusative, should be nominative) and abridgement of
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 783-785: "But that one [the Boeotian's daughter, being passed off as a piglet] is not sacrificable". -- "What? How is she not sacrificable?" -- "She has no tail". The headword
ko/loura is absent from the passage, and instead occurs in the scholiast's comment on this passage, which the Suda paraphrases.
