Aristophanes,
Knights 365 (web address 1), with comments from the
scholia. For
e)celw= ('I will drive out'), which occurs here and in most mss of
Aristophanes, most modern editors accept Porson's emendation to
e)ce/lcw ('I will drag out'). Most also prefer the reading of the genitive (used in a partitive sense)

th=| pugh=| ('by/with the arse'). Both produce little substantial difference in translation.
