Translation: The cockerel, [sc. so called] on account of its crest. Alternatively because all the extravagances of a king used to be called Persian. And here in
Aristophanes there is nothing special about its being [called] Persian bird.[1]
On the Persian empire see under Assyrians.[2] For the enumeration of the Persian army see under Darics.[3]
