Notes:
The headword phrase comes from
Aristophanes,
Peace 289 (web address 1), and the gloss from the
scholia thereto.
For Datis and 'Datisms', see
delta 89, which includes much of the present entry.
On barbarism in language, see generally
beta 104.
[1] Despite this form of glossing, the headword phrase does not feature in the paroemiographers.
