Translation
[Meaning] stout/sturdy.1 Aristophanes [writes]: "lest in anger he smites your temples with a crowning word and spills out your Telephus." Meaning with a stout/sturdy one.2 And in Clouds [he writes]: "nor used it to be allowed, when dining, [to take] the head of a radish or to snatch dill from one's seniors".3 A 'head' is the stalky part next to the leaves. They used not to cut a radish lengthways, as now, but in rings.
