Aristophanes in
Birds [writes]: "o thrice-blessed, o most renowned, o most wise, o most subtle." Since [Peisetairos] was not listening, [the herald] says "o -- enough!", as if to the rowers. And "o", he is saying, "tell me to stop".

Note:
Aristophanes,
Birds 1272-3 (web address 1), with comment from the
scholia there. Dunbar has a long note, mainly on textual issues -- e.g. whether 'o most wise' occurs twice -- but also airing the problem of what the headword verb, here in the aorist imperative, actually means in this context (which seems to have more nuances than
katake/leue in
Frogs 207) and to whom it is addressed.
