Translation: A comic poet,[1] ugly in appearance. He was prominent-headed, like a hoopoe, i.e. pointy-headed; a son of a sister of
Aeschylus. But others maintain that his nickname was Briny, because of his being bitter; for brine is [an example of] bitterness. So [the word
prokephalos] is applied to those with pointed heads.
