Notes:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Birds 4, where the headword -- present middle participle, nominative dual masculine, of the verb
profore/w -- does (uniquely, outside the
scholia and the Suda) occur. (Oddly,
Photius,
Lexicon pi1421 Theodoridis, changes the headword into the commonplace
proforou/menoi, which has no manuscript authority.)
Dunbar ad loc. (pp. 134-8) doubts the weaving-based explanation given here and elsewhere (
Phrynichus the Atticist 104.1,
Pollux 7.32,
Hesychius pi4068,
Photius).
Aristophanes, Birds, edited with introduction and commentary by Nan Dunbar (Oxford 1995)
