*(/apanta to/lmhs ple/a ka)naisxunti/as: e)pi\ tw=n i)tamw=n kai\ a)naidw=n.

The headword phrase, though otherwise unattested in this precise form, is taken to be a variant version of one in Aristophanes, Thesmophoriazusae 701 (w(s a(/pant' a)/r' e)sti\ to/lmhs mesta\ ka)naisxunti/as), with scholion. (There mesta/ is Porson's emendation for e)/rga in the Ravennas ms.) See also Comica adespota 570b Kock (not in K.-A.): a(/panta to/lmhs dou=la ka)naisxunti/as.
