Translation
Meaning I do not care about you. The locution [is] Attic. Aristophanes in Wealth [writes]: "[I take no heed of you.] For I bear this ring [which I bought] from Eudamos for a drachma." Meaning I do not care about you. Eudamos was a philosopher.

Οὐδὲν προτιμῶ σου· ἀντὶ τοῦ οὐ φροντίζω σου. ἡ φράσις Ἀττική. Ἀριστοφάνης Πλούτῳ· φορῶ γὰρ τὸν δακτύλιον ταυτὶ παρ' Εὐδάμου δραχμῆς. ἀντὶ τοῦ οὐ φροντίζω σου. Εὔδαμος δὲ φιλόσοφος ἦν.

Notes
- An approximation of Aristophanes, Plutus [Wealth] 883-4 (add
pria/menos , and readtondi/ fortauti/ : web address 1), with scholion. See again, accurately, under pi 2885.
Eudamos is mentioned elsewhere in comedy, as both a 'philosopher' and (more credibly) a maker and seller of rings with magical powers.
