Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐντετριμμένη· ἀντὶ τοῦ σμηχθεῖσα. ἢ εἰδυῖα. ὅπως ἐντετριμμένη κανηφορῇς. τὰ κανίσκια ἔχουσα. πολλοὺς δὴ θυλάκους κάτω στρέψασα ἐμούς. ἀντὶ τοῦ κλέψασα.

Notes (2)

Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 732-3 (web address 1), interlarded with comment from the scholia there.
The actual headword, extracted from the quotation, is perfect middle/passive participle, feminine (Chremes is addressing a sieve: see further n. 1 below) nominative singular, of the verb e)ntri/bw, literally I rub in.
1In this mock-Panathenaic procession; cf. kappa 308. The verb is suggestive of women's cosmetics: compare the plural at Lysistrata 149, and see generally LSJ s.v. (The connection with the sieve is sustained by the fact that it too will have a covering of powdery flour.) As regards the scholiast's glossing, the first participle is self-explanatory but the second less so. It might suggest knowing/knowledgeable in sexual matters (compare the adulterous wife in Lysias 1.14) but more probably reflects a late meaning of the passive voice of this verb; see LSJ s.v., IV. ↩
2The suggestion is that 'having upturned' (stre/yasa) is used punningly for 'having stolen' (kle/yasa).
