Translation
Aristophanes in Wealth [writes]: "you will breakfast [like] goats". That is, you will breakfast bare-cocked; meaning you will do lewd things like goats [do], since after intercourse goats lick the penis. You will lick the tip like goats.

Ἀκρατιεῖσθε· Ἀριστοφάνης Πλούτῳ· τράγοι δ' ἀκρατιεῖσθε. τουτέστιν ἀπεψωλημένοι ἀκρατιεῖσθε· ἀντὶ τοῦ ὡς τράγοι ἀκρατῆ πράξετε, ἐπεὶ μετὰ τὴν συνουσίαν οἱ τράγοι λείχουσι τὸ αἰδοῖον. τὸ ἄκρον λείξετε ὡς τράγοι.
