Translation: Timocreon of
Rhodes, an epic poet,[1] wrote such a
skolion against wealth. It begins: "o blind Wealth, you ought to appear neither on land nor on sea nor on mainland; no, [you ought] to dwell in Tartaros and Acheron; for because of you everything amongst men [is] bad."[2] The measures introduced by Pericles were like this, for Pericles framed a decree as follows: "Megarians are to share in neither market nor sea nor mainland"[3] -- creating
skolia like those of Timokreon. And again [
Aristophanes writes]: "he used to put in place laws written like
skolia." [This is said] concerning Perikles. He was a Rhodian, a melic poet.[4]
Also [sc. attested is]
skolios, [meaning] a villain.[5]

Notes:
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 532-534 (web address 1), with material from the
scholia there.
[1] Not quite: see at
tau 625 (and n. 4 below).
[2]
Timocreon fr. 5. Page (PMG)
[3] A very loose approximation of lines 533-534 (which has four domains: land, market, sea, heaven).
[4] This of course describes not Pericles (
pi 1178,
pi 1179,
pi 1179,
pi 1180) but
Timocreon himself.
[5] So e.g. Hesiod,
Works and Days 7: Zeus straightens out the
skolios ('crook').
