Translation
[Meaning he/she] honors with wine and betrays. And Demosthenes said that those who had betrayed their fatherlands to their enemies were offering a toast to their enemies.1
Also Aristophanes [writes]: "come, let me see, what was first? We drank. But what [was] second after this? We offered a toast." Meaning we greet with the right hand.2
And elsewhere: "he offered a drug to his daughters and drank himself, sharing the unlucky toast and friendship-cup."3

Προπίνει· διὰ τοῦ οἴνου τιμᾷ καὶ προδίδωσι. καὶ Δημοσθένης δὲ τοὺς προδόντας τὰς πατρίδας τοῖς ἐχθροῖς προπίνειν ἔφη τοῖς ἐχθροῖς. καὶ Ἀριστοφάνης· φέρ' ἴδω, τί μέντοι πρῶτον ἦν; ἐπίνομεν. τί δὲ μετὰ τοῦτο δεύτερον; προὐπίνομεν. ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀλλήλους δεξιούμεθα. καὶ αὖθις· ταῖς θυγατράσι φάρμακον ὤρεξε καὶ αὐτὸς ἔπιε, δυστυχοῦς κοινωνήσας προπόσεως καὶ φιλοτησίας.
