Translation: An Attic expression. He said this[1] since Kleon, by slandering the other generals and currying favor with the masses, persuaded the Athenians to turn their eyes to him. As if we were to say: the chariots, riggings and all, horses and all. The subject is lacking. [As regards] 'the other Paphlagonians',[2] [he is saying] that while all are scoundrels, Kleon is especially so.
[It is] natural to Athenians to say 'riggings and all', 'baskets and all', without the preposition syn ["with"].[3]

Aristophanes,
Knights 7, scholiastic comment on which is followed here.
[2] A central conceit in this play (beginning at line 2) is that Kleon (
kappa 1731),
Aristophanes' target, was not a fellow-Athenian but an uncouth foreigner; cf.
pi 826, and for
Paphlagonia see generally OCD(4) s.v. (pp.1076-7).
[3] From
alpha 4540.
