Translation
Instead of 'super-whore'; [sc. used] rarely.1
Aristophanes [writes]: "and they say that Kallias the son of Hippofuckus fought at sea swathed in a lionskin of cunt-hair".2 He made, on account of his licentiousness, a punning transformation of 'Hipponikos' to imply that he was whore-crazy. They employ 'horse' frequently in place of 'big': 'horse-whore'.3 Kallias is lampooned continually as having frittered away his inherited wealth4 and as being extremely crazy for women. [Aristophanes] coins all manner of words in reference to his decadence.
