Translation
Aristophanes [sc. says this]. This man would always shave. So [the phrase] is said about those who always shave. He was [the son] of Sibyrtios; and he did this to look young always.1 Straton used to do the same.2 "O hot-tempered shaven arsehole! You come to us, you ape, as a eunuch, yet with such a beard rigged up? And who might this one be? Isn't it Straton?"3
