[Meaning] in a tavern.[1] For fe/yaloi [are] sparks. Aristophanes [writes]: "the shield will be hung in the ember."[2] Because of its being a time of peace. Also found is the form feya/luc in Archilochus.[3] And [sc. elsewhere] in Aristophanes: "but not even an ember [feya/luc] of a seducer has been left behind."[4]
And elsewhere: "but half-blinded by the murky flame borne in on them and [by] the sparks, and with the smoke still very thick, not a few died."[5]
