Aristophanes,
Peace 119, Trygaeus says to his daughters
doca/sai e)/sti, ko/rai, to\ d' e)th/tumon, a)/xqomai u(mi=n; "... but the truth [is], I am angry with you". The
scholia there quote the line with the ending given also here in the Suda, and identify this as a line from
Euripides' lost tragedy
Aeolus (
Euripides fr.118).
[2] An approximation of
Sophocles,
Oedipus Tyrannus 911-913 (Jocasta talking to the magistrates of
Thebes); it contains not the headword verb but the related noun.
[3] Stoic doctrine: an approximation of
Diogenes Laertius 7.121.
