Translation
He is using it in reference to excusing oneself and denying. For Dionysus has proclaimed in response to Euripides, "and of course you offer frankincense"; he introduced, "fine: for there are other gods to whom I pray". Wherefore Dionysus says: "your own [gods], a fresh stamp?"1
"And if [he] offered the remaining ones too, well and good."2
"And if [he] offered the remaining ones too, well and good."2

Καλῶς· τοῦτο ἐπὶ παραιτήσει καὶ ἀρνήσει χρῶνται. εἰρηκότος γὰρ τοῦ Διονύσου πρὸς Εὐριπίδην, ἐπίθες καὶ σὺ δὴ λιβανωτόν· ἐπήγαγε, καλῶς· ἕτεροι γάρ εἰσιν οἷσιν εὔχομαι θεοῖς. διὸ λέγει ὁ Διόνυσος· ἴδιοί τινές σοι, κόμμα καινόν. εἰ καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ προσέσχε καλῶς τε καὶ εὖ.
