mu 393 (and for 'knife' see generally
mu 302). Similar but longer entry in
Photius'
Lexicon (pi851 Theodoridis).

Appendix Proverbiorum 4.57 and other paroemiographers.
[2] This phrase, also in
Photius, presumably means 'as well as others'. (NB: what follows is a fragment of
Aristophanes of

Clouds 1063, but does not quote it in this form.)
