Greek Original:
*(armo/dioi: a)restoi/. kai\ paroimi/a: *(armodi/ou me/los, e)pi\ tw=n dusko/lwn. ta\ ga\r ei)s *(armo/dion me/lh toiau=ta/ e)stin. *(armo/dios kai\ *)aristogei/twn e)pe/qento toi=s tura/nnois, kai\ to\n *(ippi/an a)pe/kteinan *)aqhnai=oi.
Notes:
The headword is masculine nominative plural of this adjective, presumably quoted from somewhere. (Hesychius glosses it in different words but along the same substantive lines.)
[1] This gloss treats the word in its metaphorical sense; it also meant literally things that fitted; cf. alpha 3976, and see LSJ s.v. (web address 1).
[2] (cf. epsilon 1384.) At alpha 493 we have been told that the songs are easy. For the discussion whether skolia were difficult or not, see LSJ s.v. sko/lion (web address 2).
[3] See Thucydides 1.20.2 (web address 3).
