Translation
[Meaning] ignorant.
Disorderly.1
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] "more uneducated than Philonides of Melite". This Philonides was not only big, but also unlearned and swinish. Aristophanes mocks him as a man who had hangers-on and one who spent his time in Corinth, through the love of Lais. He was mocked also as gluttonous along with his companions, whom he called boars; and Lais [they called] Circe, since she used to drug her lovers.2

Ἀπαίδευτοι· ἀνόητοι. ἄτακτοι. καὶ Ἀπαιδευτότερος Φιλωνίδου τοῦ Μελιτέως. οὗτος ὁ Φιλωνίδης οὐ μόνον μέγας ἦν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀμαθὴς καὶ ὑώδης. κωμῳδεῖ δὲ αὐτὸν Ἀριστοφάνης ὡς παρασίτους ἔχοντα καὶ διὰ τὸν Λαΐδος ἔρωτα ἐν Κορίνθῳ διάγοντα. κωμῳδεῖται δὲ καὶ ὡς συώδης σὺν τοῖς ἑταίροις αὐτοῦ, οὓς κάπρους εἶπε· τὴν δὲ Λαΐδα Κίρκην, ἐπεὶ τοὺς ἐραστὰς ἐφαρμάκευεν.

Notes (2)
- 1The headword, which has the first of these glosses in other lexica also, is masculine/feminine nominative plural of
a)pai/deutos and must be quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities. ↩ - 2From the scholia to Aristophanes, Wealth [Plutus] 303 (web address 1), cf. 179. (The phrase quoted is actually from another comic poet, Nicochares: fr. 3 Kock, now 4 K.-A.) On Philonides of (the Athenian deme) Melite, see generally J.K. Davies, Athenian Propertied Families 600-300 BC (Oxford 1971) 422. For Lais (or Nais?) see lambda 40, nu 16, and chi 190. For Circe see kappa 1662. ↩
