Notes

From the scholia to Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 973 (973b Ussher): web address 1. See already delta 108, theta 520.
Euripides (Iphigenia in Aulis 219) had coined this compound adjective to describe a horse with fine trappings (web address 2); Aristophanes now applies it figuratively (a young man serenades his girl).
