Translation:
[Meaning] to have been taught by the Muses [or: in the ways of the Muses].[1] "For neither to be poetical nor to have been educated with the expert wisdom of paeans and hymns".[2]
Also [sc. attested is] memou/swmai ['I have been educated'],[3] [meaning] I have been taught.

Meaning I have been taught, I have practiced. Lysistrata says [this].[5]

Notes:
[1] The headword is aorist passive infinitive of the verb mouso/omai, presumably from the quotation which immediately follows.
[2] Aelian fr. 251 Domingo-Forasté (253 Hercher).
[3] First person singular, perfect indicative, of the verb mouso/omai; from Aristophanes (see below).
[4] Aristophanes' text has nou=s "mind", not mou=sa.
[5] Aristophanes, Lysistrata 1124-1127 (web address 1) ,with comment from the scholia there -- according to which, these verses derive from the tragedy Melanippe the Wise by Euripides (fr.483 Nauck).
