Translation
[Meaning he/she/it] draws together and contracts the lips. [Derived] from a metaphor of children at the breast, who, when they are sucking the breast with the mouth, draw their lips together. Aristophanes [writes]: "he mumbles due to old age".
Greek original · Adler’s text
Μασταρύζει· συνέλκει καὶ συνάγει τὰ χείλη. ἀπὸ μεταφορᾶς τῶν ὑποτιτθίων παιδίων, ἃ τὸν μαστὸν ἕλκοντα τῷ στόματι, συνάγει τὰ χείλη. Ἀριστοφάνης· ὁ δ' ὑπὸ γήρως μασταρύζει.
