This unglossed headword phrase is apparently a mild corruption of a verse attributed to
Sophron (
sigma 893, a 5th century Syracusan writer of mimes): see
Hesychius nu734 (=
Sophron fr. 144 Kaibel, fr.136 Rusten-Cunningham and now Kassel-Austin (PCG vol.I):
nu=n t' h)=nqes e)s xoro/n, nu=n t' e)/prades: nu=n ei)s xoro\n h)=lqes, kai\ nu=n e)/pardes. "now you went [a Doric form of the verb] into a dance, and now you farted": now you went [standard Attic form] into a dance, and now you farted.
According to LSJ (web address 1) the aorist
e)/pardon from
pe/rdomai ("I fart") appears only in compounds, though this is not the case here. The aorist forms
e)/prades and
e)/pardes show different dialectal treatments of an inherited vocalic
r (cf.
alpha 3029).
cf. generally
nu 605.
