Translation

[Meaning] with frenzy. Plato in the seventh [book] of Laws [writes]: "so as to make turbid."1 But properly [it is used] in reference to the cuttle-fish, since its black ink is called qolo/s.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀναθολώσει· ἀναταράξει. Πλάτων Νόμων ἑβδόμῳ· ὅπως ἀναθολώσῃ. κυρίως δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς σηπίας, ἐπεὶ τὸ μέλαν αὐτῆς θολὸς καλεῖται.

Notes (2)

  1. 1Plato, Laws 7.824B (web address 1 below), which has o)pw=n a)naqolw/sei. The present version of this misreads o)pw=n ["with turbidity of juices", to poison fish] for o(/pws and is thus obliged to convert the following noun into a verb. ↩
  2. 2cf. theta 403. ↩
