Headword: Autodaxon tropon
Adler number: alpha,4489
Translated headword: teeth-and-all manner
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
That is, a biting one, an aggressive one; or willful and irascible; since irascible people bite with their teeth. Aristophanes [writes]: "fearing your natures and your teeth-and-all manner."[1] And elsewhere: "so that we give off the odor of women enraged teeth-and-all."[2] Meaning completely.
They have also construed autodax as 'immediately'.[3]
Greek Original:
Autodaxon tropon: toutesti ton daknonta, ton empesonta: ê authadê kai orgilon: epei hoi orgiloi daknousi tois odousin. Aristophanês: tas phuseis humôn dedoikôs kai ton autodaxon tropon. kai authis: hin' ozômen gunaikôn autodax ôrgismenôs. anti tou panu. Autodax kai to parachrêma apodedôkasin.
Notes:
The headword phrase slightly misquotes one in Aristophanes, Peace 607, which occurs in full, similarly misquoted, in the entry itelf: see note 1 below. The original reads au)toda\c tro/pon, not au)to/dacon tropon. The correct form au)toda/c appears in the second quotation from Aristophanes (note 2 below) and in the last sentence of the entry.
