Adler number: beta,452

Aristophanes [writes]: "by Zeus, if someone should knock their jaws once or twice just like [those] of Boupalos, they would not have a voice."[2] In
Hipponax: "take my cloak, I will give Boupalos' eye a knock."[3]

Notes:
Apart from the primary gloss (for which see n.1 below), this material reappears under
kappa 2062, q.v.
[1] The gloss is erroneous, since the headword is a proper name (see n. 3 below). Adler cites
Hesychius beta949 for comparison, and his
onoma ("name") has apparently become
onos here.
