Translation
[Meaning someone] quick to anger. Sophocles [writes]: "he will say these things, a choleric man, tough in old age, venting anger for nothing in quarrels." A scholion [comments]: [he says] "for nothing" in the sense of "[for nothing] true" or "[for no] reason to me".1 And elsewhere: "when he came to this point, even though he was not a choleric man, offended by what he heard, he answered".2
