α317Ἄγουσιν ἑορτὴν οἱ κλέπται
the thieves are keeping festival.
The expression [is] very charming and suitably witty in accordance with the charm of comedy. It signifies those who steal with impunity.
Ἄγουσιν ἑορτὴν οἱ κλέπται· χαριεστάτη ἡ σύνταξις καὶ ἱκανῶς πεπαισμένη κατὰ τὴν κωμῳδικὴν χάριν. σημαίνει δὲ τοὺς ἀδεῶς κλέπτοντας.
