Translation

[Attested] not only in Stesichorus1 and other Dorian [writers], but also [used by] Aristophanes in Knights: "then [the goddess seemed] to pour a libation on your head with an aryballos."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀρύβαλλος· οὐ μόνον παρὰ Στησιχόρῳ καὶ ἄλλοις Δωριεῦσιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν Ἱππεῦσιν Ἀριστοφάνης· εἶτα κατασπένδειν κατὰ τῆς κεφαλῆς ἀρυβάλλῳ.
