Greek display:    

Headword: *sou= g' ei(/neka
Adler number: sigma,795
Translated headword: yes as far as you are concerned
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The sailors are in the habit of saying this to the marine. Aristophanes in Frogs [sc. uses the phrase].
Greek Original:
*sou= g' ei(/neka: tou=to le/gein ei)w/qasin oi( nau=tai tw=| e)piba/th|. *)aristofa/nhs *batra/xois.
Notes:
From the scholia to Aristophanes, Frogs 189, where the headword phrase indeed occurs (web address 1). Nevertheless, the comment presumably refers less to this phrase as such than to the "go to hell" one which opens the line.
Marines were higher-class Athenians than rowers, and the sort of antagonism suggested here is credible enough, even though one would like better evidence for it.
