Headword: *)aqu/rwton sto/ma
Adler number: alpha,772
Translated headword: doorless mouth
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Thus doorless, not gateless.[1] Aristophanes in Frogs [sc. uses the phrase].[2]
Also [in] Phrynichus.[3] But some write "gateless" when they mean "opened and not having a gate", that is to say not curbed or controlled.[4]

See already alpha 358, and again alpha 3720.
[1] i.e. '"doorless" is correct'.
[2] See n.4 below.
[3] Once registered as a fragment of Ph. the comic poet (fr. 82 Kock) but nowadays, as in Adler, attributed to Ph. Arabius, Praeparatio sophistica (fr.10a de Borries).
[4] From the scholia to Aristophanes, Frogs 838 (where the mss offer both "gateless" and "doorless"; the most recent editor, K.J. Dover, prints the latter.)
