Translation

A particular child's game, in which the one who has thrown a nut into the ring, so that it remains [there], wins. Eupolis in Golden Race [says]: "since I am in, having stayed here in the omilla."1
From a contraction h(/ o(/milla [is] also w(/milla.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὤμιλλα· παιδιά τις, ἐν ᾗ ὁ εἰς τὸν κύκλον βαλὼν κάρυον, ὥστε ἐμμεῖναι, νικᾷ. Εὔπολις Χρυσῷ γένει· ἐπεισείμεθα δὲ μείνας εἰς ὤμιλλαν. ἀπὸ συναιρέσεως ἡ ὅμιλλα καὶ ὥμιλλα.

Notes (2)

  1. See generally LSJ s.v.
  2. 1Eupolis fr. 288 Kock (now 314 K.-A.), in garbled form; its reconstructed version is translated here. (For this word see also Eupolis fr. 250 Kock, now 269 K.-A.) Similarly in Hesychius omega194 and in a scholion to Plato, Lysis 206E. ↩
  3. 2Incorrect, as the headword is not aspirated. ↩
