β417Βοῦθος περιφοιτᾷ
Bouthos is wandering around
It is said about those who are stupid and thick-witted. Also [sc. attested is] Bouthoinas ["Beef-eater"], [meaning] Herakles. For when his son Hyllus was hungry, he feasted and ate one of the plow-oxen of Theodamas.
Βοῦθος περιφοιτᾷ· ἐπὶ τῶν ἀσυνέτων καὶ παχυφρόνων εἴρηται. καὶ Βουθοίνας, ὁ Ἡρακλῆς. Ὕλλου γὰρ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ πεινάσαντος, ἕνα τῶν ἀροτήρων βοῶν Θεοδάμαντος θοινήσας ἔφαγεν.
