[1] These two adjectives exist nowhere else in Greek literature in the forms transmitted here, which are the result of copyist's errors. The first should be not
o)zwta/ but
o)cwta/, i.e. something made sour-tasting by vinegar. The second should be not
stilfwta/ but
silfiwta/, i.e. derived from silphion/silphium (
sigma 422,
sigma 423).
[2] From later in the same fragment of
Aristophanes' lost play
Geras.
