Headword:
*fialei=s
Adler number: phi,282
Translated headword: you will carry out, you will take in hand
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Aristophanes [writes]: "but you will not make repayment and you will not carry [it] out, I know, but you will deceive utterly and you will gape[1] at him exceedingly."[2] But [sc. also attested is] "we will carry out",[3] that is we will devote [ourselves] to the task. We will rush to this. But properly, to carry out is to begin an act.
Aristophanes [also writes]: "Come on! Quickly you! Hold the bowl, so that we may carry out a task, having prayed to the gods."[4]

Notes:
The headword, extracted from the first quotation given, appears here as
fialei=s but should probably be
e)fialei=s, i.e. from a verb
e)fia/llw, not
fia/llw. (For the contrary view, see LSJ s.v. on the latter: web address 1.) The error, if such it is, is carried through to the
scholia ad loc. and arises from incorrect word-division, i.e. not
ou)de\ fialei=s but
ou)d' e)fialei=s.
[1] Here "to gape" has the sense of "to bamboozle".
