Translation
[Meaning] to cause confusion. Some [say] the action [is] from either of two ways: on the one hand from kuka=n ["to mix"], on the other from kudoimo/s ["hubbub"]). Aristophanes [writes]: "[...] not at all rightly; rather, to cause a ruckus from top to bottom."1
Greek original · Adler’s text
Κυδοιδοπᾶν· συνταράττειν. τινὲς δὲ ἐξ ἑκατέρου τὸ πράττειν· τὸ μὲν ἀπὸ τοῦ κυκᾶν, τὸ δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ κυδοιμοῦ. Ἀριστοφάνης· οὐδὲν ὀρθῶς· ἀλλ' ἄνω τε καὶ κάτω κυδοιδοπᾶν.
