Translation
[Meaning] get moving, speed up. [The word arises] either since runners get covered with dust1 or from the [sc. predicament of] athletes: for their work occurs in the dust; or because they win before touching the dust. Aristophanes in Wealth [writes]: "go, hurry, rush, as it's not the time to hesitate; things are right at the point."2
