Translation
A proper name. Aristophanes [writes]: 'having caught sight [of Epigonos] there I thought I was speaking [to] women'. This man was the butt of comedy for being soft and for being always found with women.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἐπίγονος· ὄνομα κύριον. Ἀριστοφάνης· ἐπιβλέψας ἐκεῖσε γυναῖκας ᾠόμην λέγειν. οὗτος ἐκωμῳδεῖτο ὡς μαλακὸς καὶ ὡς μετὰ γυναικῶν ἀεὶ εὑρισκόμενος.
