Adler number: kappa,2030

[...] the [phrase] "they slapped him",[1] as it seems, hence the Attic speakers; but Kolaphos is [used] in Epicharmus.[2]
Aristophanes [writes]: "if the child asks for wine, give him a knuckle".[3] [Said] in order to accustom children not to ask for anything superfluous.[4]

Notes:
The first part of this entry comes from Pausanias the Atticist (kappa38) but, as Adler notes, the beginning of it is corrupt; see the references and discussion at Photius, Lexicon kappa931 Theodoridis. The entry is attempting to combine discussion of the noun ko/ndulos "knuckle" (cf. kappa 2029) with the koine verb kolafi/zw "slap".
[1] Matthew 26:67 (web address 1).
[2] Epicharmus fr. 1 Kaibel (and K.-A.) -- a proper name there.
[3] This actually occurs in the scholia to Aristophanes, Peace 123 ("if I do well and come back, you'll have a big loaf every morning -- and a knuckle for sauce"). See further, next note (and text at web address 2).
[4] Likewise from the scholia to Peace 123, and also in various paroemiographers: see e.g. Zenobius 1.92, Diogenianus 1.81, Apostolius 3.2; they interpret it as "applying to those who ask for something good, and get back something evil", with Apostolius connecting it with the Cyclops.
