Notes:
The headword, extracted from
Aristophanes (see n. 1 below), is third person plural, present indicative active, of the rare verb
paroywne/w (connected with
omicron 1087 etc.).
A neuter noun related to it,
paroyw/nhma, is memorably used by
Aeschylus' Clytemnestra when describing Agamenmon's "bit on the side", Chryseis (
Aeschylus,
Agamemnon 1447).
[1] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Ecclesiazusae [
Assemblywomen] 226, where the headword occurs (web address 1). Ussher ad loc. offers another interpretation of it, alongside the scholiasts' one: they buy little extras (from para- meaning "in addition").
[2] George of
Pisidia,
Sever. 621; the second clause of it has aready been quoted at
alpha 2751.
