Notes:
The first part of this entry comes from
Pausanias the Atticist (kappa38) but, as Adler notes, the beginning of it is corrupt; see the references and discussion at
Photius,
Lexicon kappa931 Theodoridis. The entry is attempting to combine discussion of the noun
ko/ndulos "knuckle" (cf.
kappa 2029) with the koine verb
kolafi/zw "slap".
[1]
Matthew 26:67 (web address 1).
[2]
Epicharmus fr. 1 Kaibel (and K.-A.) -- a proper name there.
[3] This actually occurs in the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Peace 123 ("if I do well and come back, you'll have a big loaf every morning -- and a knuckle for sauce"). See further, next note (and text at web address 2).
[4] Likewise from the
scholia to
Peace 123, and also in various paroemiographers: see e.g.
Zenobius 1.92,
Diogenianus 1.81,
Apostolius 3.2; they interpret it as "applying to those who ask for something good, and get back something evil", with
Apostolius connecting it with the Cyclops.
