[1] Aristophanes, Frogs 121-122, with scholion. The headword, feminine nominative singular of this adjective, occurs in the feminine accusative singular in the second half of verse 122: see web address 1. (The first half of the verse has specified "by hanging yourself".) For related words, see pi 1830, pi 1831, pi 1833.
