Translation:
Spelled in two ways.[1]
And [there is] a saying, "Areopagite", in reference to those who look glum and are solemn and silent.[2]
Also "Ares' chick" [*)/arews neotto/s], and "Ares' child" [*)/arews paidi/on], in reference to the very courageous.[3]
Plato used the first [of these expressions] in Peisandros[4], and Alexandrides the second in Peisandros.[5]

Notes:
[1] That is, Areio- as well as this Areo-. (Either way, it meant a member of the Are(i)opagos Council/Court in Athens. See alpha 3838.)
[2] Macarius 2.30.
[3] Macarius 2.31.
[4] Plato Comicus fr. 104 Kock, now 112 K.-A.
[5] Anaxandrides ["Alexandrides" is in error, as Hemsterhuys pointed out: cf. alpha 32] fr. 38 Kock, now 39 K.-A. Both play-titles may, as given here, be the same, though Meineke emended this second one to Pandaros.
