Translation
[Meaning he who has been] trampled, stripped bare.1
Aelian [writes]: "[sc. she was] a woman from Syria and wagon-crushed by every comer. For she was a well-known courtesan and more passionate in licentiousness than those in the mimes, and with her postures appearing to the general view enticing the audience to the passions of the body, and extending the people, and whatever [was] with the people,2 towards a swinish and manic wantonness."3
