Translation
Proper names. These men were slandered for trickery.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Μόρυχος, Τελέα, Γλαυκέτης· ὀνόματα κύρια. οὗτοι ἐπὶ μαγγανείᾳ διεβέβληντο.
Betacode
*mo/ruxos, *tele/a, *glauke/ths: o)no/mata ku/ria. ou(=toi e)pi\ magganei/a| diebe/blhnto.
Notes
- Presumably (as Adler suggests) from scholiastic comment on Aristophanes, Peace 1008, where the three names appear (in the dative case); there, however, they appear as gourmands (see web address 1).
