Μὴ τὸν ἐμὸν οἴκει νοῦν· ἔχεις γὰρ οἰκίαν· παρὰ τὸ ἐν Ἀνδρομάχῃ Εὐριπίδου. ἢ οὕτως· μὴ τὸν ἐμὸν οἴκει νοῦν· ἐγὼ γὰρ ἀρκέσω.

Notes (2)
- Aristophanes, Frogs 105, with scholion.
- 1As Adler notes, 'Matthiae' [= the Euripides editor August Matthiae, 1769-1835] proposed emending 'Andromache' to Andromeda (see next note), presumably on the basis that these words do not occur in Euripides' surviving Andromache. But K.J. Dover in his Frogs edition cites line 237 of that play:
o( nou=s o( so/s moi mh\ cunoikoi/h "May your way of thought never come to dwell with me, woman!" (Kovacs' translation). ↩ - 2Euripides fr. 144 (Andromeda). ↩
