we made lie down

Translation
Meaning we leaned on. So Attic writers [sc. express themselves]. Aristophanes in Plutus [writes]: "and when a round-cake was dedicated upon the altar, we made Plutus lie down, as was fitting." The [prefix] kata/ [is used] instead of the [prefix] a)na/ .
Greek original · Adler’s text
Κατεκλίνομεν· ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀνεκλίνομεν. οὕτως Ἀττικοί. Ἀριστοφάνης Πλούτῳ· ἐπεὶ δὲ βωμῷ πόπανα καθωσιώθη, κατεκλίνομεν τὸν Πλοῦτον, ὥσπερ εἰκὸς ἦν. ἡ κατὰ ἀντὶ τῆς ἀνά.

Notes
- An approximation of Aristophanes, Plutus [Wealth] 660-662 (web address 1 below), with material from the scholia there. The present headword should read
katekli/namen , and the quotation is incomplete overall.
