Aristophanes [sc. uses the word]. For we men, "just as if we were torch-bearers, have stooped over." For those who are bearing lanterns are stooped over because of the wind.

Ἀποκεκύφαμεν· Ἀριστοφάνης· οἱ γὰρ ἄνδρες, ὥσπερ λαμπροφόροι ὄντες, ἀποκεκύφαμεν. οἱ γὰρ λυχνοφοροῦντες κεκύφασι διὰ τὸν ἄνεμον.
