Translation
Meaning excessively adorned, adopting the manners of Koisyra. The name is an Eretrian one. These men [sc. the Eretrians] are criticized for their luxury. She was wedded to Peisistratos after he had tried to establish a tyranny. [Aristophanes] is speaking of the excessiveness of her beautifications, for she had used, as it seems, many cosmetics, that is cleansers, and braids for her head and the other things with which women are accustomed to adorn themselves.
'Koisyra-ed out' [is] therefore like 'acting luxuriously'; from Koisyra, a wealthy woman, the spouse of Alkmaion.1
