Translation
Meaning I will explain, that is I will reveal; for torw=s ["piercingly"] [means] clearly and accurately.1 From what follows, instead of "If I do not say." Aristophanes [writes]: "I will be softened by Zeus, if I do not proclaim these things clearly and shriek."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Τετορήσω· ἀντὶ τοῦ σαφηνιῶ, ὅ ἐστι δηλώσω· τορῶς γὰρ σαφῶς καὶ ἀκριβῶς. ἐκ τοῦ παρακολουθοῦντος, ἀντὶ τοῦ εἰ μὴ εἴπω. Ἀριστοφάνης· ὑπὸ τοῦ Διὸς ἀμαλδυνθήσομαι, εἰ μὴ τετορήσω ταῦτα, καὶ λακήσομαι.
