Translated headword: let your spirit not seize you and carry you beyond the olive-trees
Vetting Status: high
Translation: The saying appears to say something particular, and indeed [sc. it does], since there were olive-trees at the end of the hippodrome, through which those who fell in the race were carried out. He means to say "do not speak outside of the topic."

Notes:
The headword phrase is
Aristophanes,
Frogs 994-5, and the content of the entry is derived from the
scholia thereto.
Dover ad loc.: "it is not known whether 'the olive trees' refers to a particular course familiar to Athenians or rests on an assumption about race-courses in general".
