Headword: *killikw/n
Adler number: kappa,1610
Translated headword: Killikon
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"Nothing bad, but just what Killikon also [did]". This man betrayed Samos. [It is] as if he said, 'I am not doing anything bad, but [only] robbing temples'. For Killikon had been much talked of for wickedness, he who betrayed Miletos to the Prienians. When certain people often asked him what he was going to do, he used to say, 'everything good'. And there is a proverb: 'everything good, as Killikon said'. Later however he went out to a certain Theagenes to buy meat; and that man bade him show from which part he wanted him to cut. When [Killikon] stretched out his hand, [Theagenes] cut it off and said: 'you will not betray any other city with this hand'.

Notes:
Aristophanes, Peace 363 (web address 1), with the confused scholion thereto. The headword comes from the quotation.
For Kil(l)ikon, see also kappa 1609 (and kappa 223, where the name is the name is given as Kallikon), and under pi 2040.
