Headword: *pau=e, pau=', w)= de/spoq' *(ermh=
Adler number: pi,805
Translated headword: stop stop lord Hermes
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[sc. Trygaeus says this to Hermes] because he is slandering Kleon, who is dead. It was customary for the ancients not to slander those who have passed on.[1]
Greek Original:
*pau=e, pau=', w)= de/spoq' *(ermh=: nekro\n ga\r o)/nta to\n *kle/wna e)loido/rei. e)/qos de\ h)=n toi=s a)rxai/ois tou\s a)poixome/nous mh\ loidorei=n.
Notes:
The headword-phrase quotes Aristophanes, Peace 648, and the gloss echoes scholiastic comment on it; cf. already alpha 3719 (and for Kleon see kappa 1731).
[1] For this principle in Athenian law see Demosthenes 20.104; Plutarch, Solon 21.
