Translation: This man was a taxiarch of the Athenians[1] in the Peloponnesian [wars]; he sent pitch to the enemies so that they could set fire to their own[2] city; hence, once he had been discovered [doing this], he was lampooned in comedy for treason. But others [say] that [the speaker is referring to one who is] imitating the Thorykion who was an Aiginetan taxiarch, a traitor, who sent oar-liners and sails and pitch to
Epidauros, or provided money for the ships of the enemy.[3]

Notes:
From a scholion to
Aristophanes,
Frogs 362 (web address 1 below). See also
alpha 4183,
theta 583.
[1] Commander of one of the ten tribal regiments (
tau 92,
tau 93).
[2] So the Suda mss, with
e(autw=n wrongly for the scholion's
e(autou= ('his own').
[3] Prosopographical orthodoxy accepts the first of these alternatives. So e.g. PA 7419; J.K. Davies,
Wealth and the Power of Wealth in Classical Athens (New York 1981) 151; R. Develin,
Athenian Officials 684-321 BC (Cambridge 1989) p.188; LGPN ii s.v. no.2.
