Adler number: pi,3004
Translated headword: sneeze
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Aristophanes [writes]: "and then how did I not sneeze?"[1] Meaning 'did I not perceive'; for a sneeze [is] a sensation of the head; since those who touch the nostril with a thin straw sneeze, or they smell it after they bring it near. Thus, he is saying, the blow affected me in the manner in which a straw affects a nostril.

Aristophanes Frogs 647 (web address 1), with comments derived from the
scholia; see already at
epsilon 2869. (
Aristophanes uses here a verb,
ptai/rw, related to the headword (cf.
pi 3021); the headword itself, a masculine noun in the nominative singular noun, occurs only in the commentary.)
