Adler number: alpha,4489

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.
