Translation:
A name. [1]
"Belonging to the class of knights, because he lived to eat, he was an associate of three rich men, a man who made his belly a god, a sniffer of frying pans; for I wish to speak as comedy does about such men, with no want of taste (by --!). He distributed his stomach among the three tables, and leapt upon such tables like some wolf or kite or harpy, if I may make such a joke."

Notes:
After the primary gloss, the substance of this entry is Aelian fr. 112 Domingo-Forasté (109 Hercher); cf. phi 8, tau 11.
The comic compounds koiliodai/mwn and taghnoknisoqh/ras are attributed to Eupolis (fr. 173 Kock, now 190 K.-A.).
