e)s to\ de/on.[1] Perikles, when he had given bribes to the enemy under Kleandridas' command, in order that they would not pillage the territory [of Attica], charged the expense, fifteen talents, to the Athenians, writing it off with something like "for the necessary".[2]
Aristophanes in
Clouds [says]: "just like Perikles I spent it 'for the necessary'.[3] And
Menander in
The Summoned [sc.also uses the phrase].[4] It is also mentioned elsewhere.

Notes:
The first part of the entry (as far as 'to the Athenians) also occurs in the
Lexicon Sabbaiticum; the whole of it =
Photius,
Lexicon epsilon329 Theodoridis.
[1] The distinction in Greek is simply between two forms of the preposition:
ei)s is more common in classical Attic prose;
e)s occurs in Ionic, in some kinds of poetry (on the distribution of the two forms, see LSJ s.v.). There is no difference in meaning.
[2] For this episode see already at
delta 243 (and
epsiloniota 241 for the proverb arising). The sum of money involved appears variously as ten, fifteen (as here), twenty and fifty talents.
