Translation

[Meaning someone] eating garlic. [The term come] from the cocks: for when they put them together for a fight they give them garlic, so that they will be fiercer in the fight.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐσκοροδισμένος· σκόροδα φαγών. ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλεκτρυόνων· ὅτε γὰρ εἰς μάχην συμβάλωσιν αὐτούς, σκόροδα διδόασιν αὐτοῖς, ἵνα δριμύτερον ὦσιν ἐν τῇ μάχῃ.
