Translation
I will shout down the other orators, he is saying; or I will cut out the pharynx and I will silence the orators. For when the pharynx has been cut, one cannot project one's voice.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Λαρυγγιῶ· καταβοήσομαι, φησί, τῶν ἄλλων ῥητόρων· ἢ τὴν φάρυγγα ἐκτεμῶ καὶ κατασιγάσω τοὺς ῥήτορας. τμηθείσης γὰρ τῆς φάρυγγος, οὐχ οἷόν τε φωνὴν προΐεσθαι.

Notes
- From the scholia to Aristophanes, Knights 358, where the headword (future of
laruggi/zw , of disputed meaning, as we see) occurs: "I will throttle the orators and I will harass Nikias". See web address 1. (For Nikias see nu 389.)
cf. lambda 130.
