Adler number: delta,22
Translated headword: being bitten
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Used] with an accusative.[1] [Meaning] being harassed, eaten up by the expenses of horse-rearing. For raising horses is reputed to be expensive; which is also connected to the Laconian curse. For indeed the Lakedaimonians did classify this as a curse.[2] It is this: 'may house and rampart[3] get you, and may your horse and your wife take a lover', all these things being expensive and damaging.[4] He said the 'being bitten' from the man's having been shut up within the bedclothes.[5]

Notes:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Clouds 12, where the headword participle occurs.
[1] Obscure, unless one is 'bitten' in respect of something in the accusative. However, this grammatical gloss might simply be a mistaken repetition of the one in
delta 21.
[2] For this idiom see LSJ s.v.
meros, IV.3.
[3] cf.
alpha 1532, end, where the present entry is cited.
[4] cf.
iota 577,
omicroniota 66.
[5] A reference forward to line 37 of the play: "a demarch [mayor] out of the bedclothes is biting me".
