And
Aristophanes [writes]: "but as for my man, even if he comes back from his unit sometimes, after behandholding himself [...]"[2] [S]he is saying "my husband, buckling himself up, so to speak [...]". Instead of letting go of his shield, as soon as he gets there he goes off into battle.

Sophocles,
Ajax 574-6 (already quoted in
epsilon 3729), with
a)/rrhton ('ineffable') in place of the more likely original reading
a)/rrhkton ('unbreakable'). Ajax is addressing his infant son whose name, Eurysaces, means 'broad-shield'.
[2]
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 105-6 (here using
porpakhsa/menos in place of
Aristophanes' homophonous hapax
porpakisa/menos, and supplying 'husband'), with scholion; cf.
alpha 1118.
