Translation: That is, co-speakers; or those that have been compressed together and are closing up; from a metaphor of wool; for just as one part of the wool often sticks to the other, and [the weavers] separate them from each other, so in reference to those who have been stuck together in the [sc. holding of] offices you ought to separate them out and to have goodwill toward each other at the same time.

From a scholion on
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 577, where, as part of Lysistrata's extended woolworking metaphor (567-586), the accusative plural headword (actually a present middle participle, from
suni/sthmi) occurs; cf.
delta 680.
