Notes:
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 448 (a woman's threat to a man), with scholion. The headword phrase, extracted from the passage is a pompous comic coinage in the accusative plural (Greek idiom saying 'hairs' where English says 'hair').
[2] Some modern editions, e.g. Henderson's, adopt here the emendation
e)kpokiw= (Blaydes).
