Adler number: xi,35

Translation:
Meaning foreign [ones] and not appropriate;[1] because being deceived [is] not native to Hellenes. Or alien, [in the sense of] things said by the foreign ambassadors. Aristophanes [writes]: "having stopped you from being overly deceived by alien words."[2]
Greek Original:
Xenikois: anti tou allotriois kai mê prosêkousin: hoti anoikeion Hellênôn to exapatasthai. ê xenikois, tois apo tôn xenôn presbeôn legomenois. Aristophanês: pausas humas xenikoisi logoisi mê lian exapatasthai.
Notes:
[1] Headword and glosses are dative plurals (masculine), because of the quotation which is to follow. For this adjective cf. xi 32, xi 34.
[2] Aristophanes, Acharnians 634. The present entry draws on the scholia there.
