Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] goes out, comes out.¹ Aristophanes [writes]: "after running into the prytaneum with an empty belly he runs out with a full [one]." That is, he comes out of the city having become rich by entering politics. He uses an emphatic expression, in order to show that [Kleon] leapt shamelessly into politics.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐκθεῖ· ἔξεισιν, ἐξέρχεται. Ἀριστοφάνης· ἐσδραμὼν εἰς τὸ πρυτανεῖον κενῇ τῇ κοιλίᾳ ἐκθεῖ πλέᾳ. τουτέστιν ἔξεισιν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως, γενόμενος πλούσιος, προσελθὼν τῇ πολιτείᾳ. ἐμφαντικῇ δὲ λέξει κέχρηται, ἵνα δείξῃ αὐτὸν ἐπιπεπηδηκότα ἀναισχύντως τῇ πολιτείᾳ.
