Translation
They are three-legged wooden things, on which they place their shields while they take a break, when they are weary from fighting. Aristophanes [says]: "boy, bring the shield's stands".
Greek original · Adler’s text
Κιλλίβαντες· τρισκελῆ ἐστί τινα ξύλα, ἐφ' ὧν τιθέασι τὰς ἀσπίδας διαναπαυόμενοι, ἐπειδὰν κάμωσι πολεμοῦντες. Ἀριστοφάνης· τοὺς κιλλίβαντας οἶσε, παῖ, τῆς ἀσπίδος.
