Notes
- The headword phrase comes from Aristophanes, Lysistrata 550 (a choral passage), and also reappears in the Suda at tau 472. The phrase is not glossed in the scholia vetera ad loc.
Despite the gloss given here, the phrase in context actually means 'you are faring well in the contest' (Henderson).
