[Meaning] the [sc. discarded] peelings of vegetables. Aristophanes [writes]: "put some dry husks into the basket for me."1 That is, withered and cheap [ones]; for beggars eat such things. *fullei=a [are] also the leaves of lettuce.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Φυλλεῖα· τὰ ἀπολεπίσματα τῶν λαχάνων. Ἀριστοφάνης· εἰς τὸ σπυρίδιον ἰσχνά μοι φυλλεῖα δός. οἷον μεμαραμμένα καὶ εὐτελῆ· τοιαῦτα γὰρ οἱ πτωχοὶ ἐσθίουσι. φυλλεῖα δὲ τὰ τῆς θριδακίνης φύλλα.
