Translation
They call "rugs" those [floor-coverings] that are smooth and not fleecy.1 And "with rugs" [means] with carpets. For thus Attic [writers use the word]. Aristophanes [in] Wealth [writes]: "it will not be possible [for you] even to sleep on rugs."2

Δάπιδας· τὰς ψιλὰς καὶ μὴ μαλλωτὰς δάπιδας λέγουσι. καὶ δάπισι, τοῖς τάπησιν. οὕτω γὰρ Ἀττικοί. Ἀριστοφάνης Πλούτῳ· οὐδ' ἐν δάπισιν ἔσται καταδαρθεῖν.
