Translation
[Meaning] one who is not sharp-witted. "Both forgetful and slow." [So says] Aristophanes in Clouds.1 For it is not employed in reference to the movement of the body in this case, but is intended to indicate the lack of sharp wits and the sluggishness of his intellect.

Βραδύς· ὁ μὴ ἀγχίνους. κἀπιλήσμων καὶ βραδύς. Ἀριστοφάνης Νεφέλαις. οὐ γὰρ ἐπὶ τῆς τοῦ σώματος κινήσεως παρείληπται νῦν, ἀλλὰ τὸ μὴ ἀγχίνουν καὶ νωθὲς τῆς διανοίας θέλει δηλοῦν.
