Notes
- The headword phrase is Aristophanes, Wasps 784 (web address 1 below); "that" is explained in line 785 as "where my pay will come from"). The gloss is the scholiastic comment on it, designed principally to explain the tmesis (
a)na/ ... pei/qeis ) in the line.
The verba)napei/qein means "persuade" but can have connotations of bribery, misleading or seduction; see LSJ s.v.
