Translation
The vessel itself [is written] with an acute accent, but that which is being washed with an acute accent on the penultima. Aristophanes in Wealth [writes]: "you do not seem to me to be sound of mind, in making me a washing-pot among so many men". Meaning [making me] contemptible scum.
Greek original · Adler’s text
