Notes
- The quotation (marginally inaccurate: the original lacks "O") is from Aristophanes, Lysistrata 317 (web address 1); the entry comes from a scholion on this verse. The headword is second person singular aorist imperative of
cuggi/gnomai /suggi/gnomai .
For the cult of Victory (Nike) see J. Henderson, Aristophanes Lysistrata, edited with introduction and commentary (Oxford 1987) 106-7; OCD(4) p.1016.
