Greek display:    
Headword: *porqmei=s
Adler number: pi,2071
Translated headword: ferrymen
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] crossing-men. Aristophanes [writes]: "you would be bothersome if you became ferrymen. You would drag the passengers and rough them up." Because ferrymen force passers-by to get onto their own boats.
Greek Original:

Notes:
A close but unmetrical approximation of Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae [Assemblywomen] 1086-7, with comments from the scholia (where, as in Aristophanes, the alternative Attic-dialect spelling of the headword porqmh=s is found).
cf. generally pi 2069, pi 2070, pi 2072, pi 2073.
