Notes:
Aristophanes,
Frogs 1386-8 (on the contrasting styles of
Aeschylus and
Euripides), with comment from the
scholia to 1386. In 1386 the adverb from the Suda's headword phrase occurs, but '
you have done (it)' is a careless anticipation of 1388; the adverb actually belongs with a third person singular,
ei)se/qhke.
cf. generally
epsilon 2996.
