They did not please [him], as being bad in their answers.1 Aristophanes in Frogs [writes]: "For Aeschylus was not on good terms with the Athenians." Meaning he was not in line with them.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Συνέβαινεν· οὐκ ἤρεσκον ὡς φαύλων περὶ τὰς ἀποκρίσεις ὄντων. Ἀριστοφάνης Βατράχοις· οὐ γὰρ Ἀθηναίοισι συνέβαινεν Αἰσχύλος. ἀντὶ τοῦ οὐκ ἐστοίχησεν.
