Translation
By a metaphor from rain-clouds, [sc. this means] those who have been subject to motion, and [sc. are thus] extreme, and violent.1 Antiphanes in Rustics [writes]: "furious/raging, invincible, a bigger deal than you seem".2 Diphilus in Meddler [writes]: "what exactly is it? How furious/raging he departed!"3 The word also occurs in the Prytaneis of Teleclides and the Banqueters of Aristophanes.4
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ῥαγδαίους· κατὰ μεταφορὰν ἀπὸ τῶν ὄμβρων, τοὺς κεκινημένους, καὶ σφοδρούς, καὶ βιαίους. Ἀντιφάνης Ἀγροίκοις· ῥαγδαῖος, ἄμαχος, πρᾶγμα μεῖζον ἢ δοκεῖς. Δίφιλος Πολυπράγμονι· τί ποτ' ἐστιν; ὡς ῥαγδαῖος ἐξελήλυθεν. ἔστι καὶ ἐν Πρυτάνεσι Τηλεκλείδου τὸ ὄνομα καὶ ἐν Δαιταλεῦσιν Ἀριστοφάνους.

- See already rho 7 (and under lambda 183 = sigma 581). The present entry = Photius rho16 Theodoridis.
- 1Accusative plural of the adjective, evidently quoted from somewhere; see further below, n. 4. ↩
- 2Antiphanes fr. 7 Kock (and K.-A.). ↩
- 3Diphilus fr. 67 Kock (68 K.-A.). ↩
- 4Teleclides fr. 30 Kock (32 K.-A.), Aristophanes fr. 243 Kock (254 K.-A.) -- but, after the interposition here of the preceding two fragments, not necessarily (in either case) as accusative plurals. ↩
