[Meaning] with difficulty, root and branch, roots and all, or great.[1] Aristophanes [writes] about Aeschylus: "charging in with his arguments uprooted, to scatter many wallows of words."[2]
Greek Original:
*au)to/premnon: du/skolon, pro/rrizon, au)to/rrizon, h)\ me/ga. *)aristofa/nhs peri\ *ai)sxu/lou: au)topre/mnois toi=s lo/goisin e)mpeso/nta, suskeda=n polla\s a)lindh/qras e)pw=n.
Notes:
[1] For this glossing cf. the scholia to Aristophanes, Frogs 903 (next note). That passage, however, has the masculine dative plural of the adjective; the headword itself is neuter nominative/accusative singular, evidently quoted from somewhere else.
[2] Aristophanes, Frogs 903-4 (web address 1 below); see already alpha 1233; also epsilon 1526, lambda 441.
