Greek display:    
Headword: *ka/r
Adler number: kappa,352
Translated headword: Karian, Carian
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Aristophanes [writes]: "if he is a slave and a Karian, like Exekestides, let him grow grandfathers amongst us, and phratry-members will appear".
Greek Original:
*ka/r: *)aristofa/nhs: ei) de\ dou=lo/s e)sti *ka/r, w(/sper *)echkesti/dhs, fusa/tw pa/ppous par' h(mi=n, kai\ fanou=ntai fra/tores.
Notes:
Aristophanes, Birds 764-5, also quoted, but less accurately, at phi 135 and phi 869. There are multiple puns here involving birds (on which see Dunbar (below) 472-3) but the underlying point is that severe Athenian citizenship qualifications will not apply in Cloudcuckootown.
On Exekestides, see epsilon 1717.
Reference:
Aristophanes, Birds, edited with introduction and commentary by Nan Dunbar (Oxford 1995)
Keywords: biography; comedy; daily life; geography; imagery; law
