Translation
Aristophanes in Clouds [writes]: "an Attic look is on your face." Meaning a knavish and determined appearance. For the Attic Greeks used to be accused of shamelessness.
Greek original
Βλέπος· Ἀριστοφάνης Νεφέλαις· ἐπὶ τοῦ προσώπου 'στιν Ἀττικὴ βλέπος. ἀντὶ τοῦ κακοῦργον βλέμμα καὶ δραστικόν. οἱ γὰρ Ἀττικοὶ ἐπὶ ἀναιδείᾳ διεβάλλοντο.
