Note:
The two-part headword phrase (divided simply by a comma in Adler's punctuation) is a quotation from
Aristophanes,
Frogs 103 (web address 1). There the first part of the phrase "but do these things please you?" is a question asked by the character Herakles; the remainder, "nay rather I am further than crazy" is the response of the character Dionysus. The comments are from the
scholia to the line.
