Aristophanes in
Plutus [writes]: "might set up a trophy over her ways". The old Attic writers put a circumflex on the penultimate syllable, the more recent ones make it proparoxytone.[2]
The old Attic [dialect] is the one beginning with
Eupolis,
Cratinus,
Aristophanes,
Thucydides; the new Attic is the one where it is
Menander and others.[3]

Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword, neuter plural, must be quoted from somewhere; the
scholia to both
Aeschylus,
Seven Against Thebes 277, and
Euripides,
Phoenician Women 572, have this same gloss.
