Greek original · Adler’s text

Φιληδίας· φιληδονίας, ἀνοίας. ὑμεῖς δὲ γρυλλίζοντες ὑπὸ φιληδίας ἕπεσθε μητρὶ χοῖροι. Ἀριστοφάνης Πλούτῳ.

Notes (1)

The headword is genitive singular of the feminine noun filhdi/a, evidently extracted from the quotation given (where it is governed by the preposition u(po/).
2Aristophanes, Plutus/Wealth 307 (web address 1), with scholion. The headword occurs again at 311; it is attested only in this play and ancient commentary on it. ↩
