A proverb [used] in reference to those who do something in a shameful manner.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὑπεκώμασε· παροιμία ἐπὶ τῶν ἀναιδῶς τι ποιούντων.

Betacode

*(upekw/mase: paroimi/a e)pi\ tw=n a)naidw=s ti poiou/ntwn.

Notes

No compound verb u(pokwma/zw is elsewhere attested. To judge by kappa 2258, the headword is probably a corruption of u(=s e)kw/masen, "a pig burst in."
