Amphis in Rheithroi,1 Posidippus in Demesmen,2 Eupolis in Sphinxes3 [sc. all use the word]. He4 represented being youthful in an unusual manner in Demes: "having a wife both very beautiful and good; she desired me when I was in my youth."

Greek original · Adler’s text

Νεανισκεύεται· Ἄμφις ἐν Ῥείθροις, Ποσείδιππος Δημόταις, Εὔπολις Σφιγξίν. ἰδίως ἐσχημάτικε τὸ νεανισκεύειν ἐν Δήμοις· γυναῖκα ἔχοντα μάλα καλήν τε καὶ ἀγαθήν, αὐτὴ νεανισκεύοντος ἐπεθύμησέ μου.
