Translation
That which is inserted into the play for the sake of laughter, though it is outside the subject-matter. But catachrestically,1 every matter that is outside the question at issue.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἐπεισόδιον· τὸ εἰσφερόμενον τῷ δράματι γέλωτος χάριν, ἔξω τῆς ὑποθέσεως ὄν. καταχρηστικῶς δὲ τὸ ἐξαγώνιον ἅπαν πρᾶγμα.
