Notes:
From
scholia on
Aristophanes,
Peace 76 and 80 (web address 1): Trygaeus is described as addressing his giant dung-beetle steed as if it were Pegasus (OCD(4) s.v. Pegasus(1), and under
tau 894).
[1] This is the Suda's version of
Euripides fr. 306 Nauck. The Aristophanic scholiast ends the quotation with
ptero/n, which Nauck printed as
ptero/n ... to suggest that the line's final foot is missing. For the Suda's
taxu/pteron cf. (?)
Aeschylus,
Prometheus Bound 88 (
taxu/pteroi pnoai/)
[2] Better spelled
ai)w/rhma; cf.
alphaiota 263.
