[Meaning] the shortest and smallest [thing] such as they call crumbs. Eupolis in Goats [writes]: "and to live for one who does not know even a jot of culture/music."1

Greek original · Adler’s text

Τάγυρι· τὸ βραχύτατον καὶ ἐλάχιστον οἷον ψιλὰ λέγουσιν. Εὔπολις Αἰξίν· καὶ ζῆν μαθόντι μηδὲ τάγυρι μουσικῆς.
