Translated headword: a neighbour from Mykonos
Vetting Status: high
Translation: This [sc. proverbial phrase] is deployed against those with a bad name for niggardliness and pettiness; it arises from the small size and insignificance of the island of
Mykonos.[1]
And [there is] another proverb: 'he has burst into the drinking-parties like Mykonians do'.[2] For because they were poor they had a bad name for niggardliness. It is applied to those going in to drinking-parties uninvited.
