Greek original · Adler’s text
Πῦος· τὸ πρὸ τοῦ γάλακτος ἀμελχθέν, τὸ μεταβεβληκὸς αἷμα. αὐτὸ τὸ γάλα, τὸ γαλακτῶδες ὑγρόν. γάλα νέον μετὰ χθεσινοῦ γάλακτος ἑψηθὲν ἔνιοι. Ἀριστοφάνης· ἔστι δὲ καὶ πῦος τις ἔνδον καὶ λαγῷα τέτταρα.

Notes (1)
- = Synagoge pi832 (Lexica Segueriana 357.14), and Photius pi1541 Theodoridis, except that those lexica (as well as Hesychius pi4377) have the headword as
puo/n , which is either the accusative form of the current headword (with a different accent) or a neuter nominative/accusative variant. (Theodoridis presents it as non-comittal*PUON .) Consequently, commentary on the Aristophanes passage quoted (see note 1 below) is probably not the source of this entry -- though it may have inspired the form of the lemma -- and the glossing shows confusion with pi 3178 (q.v.). - 1Aristophanes, Peace 1150. ↩
