Translation
[Formed] like i)/kteros ["jaundice"]. One who has a passion involving horses. Aristophanes in Clouds [writes]: "but he poured a horse-fever over my money." He played on i)/kteros ["jaundice"], which is diffused over the faces of the sufferers. Thus [he is saying that] a horse-fever has been cast upon the money.
