Notes
- From a scholion on Aristophanes, Lysistrata 1028, where a version of the headword phrase occurs (web address 1). The Suda gives its aorist imperative as
e)ksa/leuson , which is also the reading of the 10th-century Ravennas 429 manuscript; nevertheless modern editions prefer the alternativee)kska/leuson (corroborated by the scholia vetera).
