Adler number: pi,1733

Translation: From the Homeric [phrase] "for in misery mortals quickly grow old", and "[Laertes' wife's death] placed [him] in cruel old age". So
Aristophanes is saying, I am growing old through disgust: "for whenever I see any of these tricks, I come away more than a year older".
