He was a doer of shameful things.1 Aristophanes [writes]: "This would be terrible to hear: if Aristylos should love you and say you were his father."2 And "Aristylos gaping." Aristophanes [again writes]: "And you, gaping [like] Aristylos, will say 'follow your mother, piggies!'"3 He was a shameful poet, who was always gaping because of his shamelessness.
