Greek display:    
Headword: *ma/ddan
Adler number: mu,30
Translated headword: barley-cake

Translation:
[ma/dda means the same as] ma/za, [i.e.] nourishment. The Megarians [say it] this way with two deltas.
Greek Original:
*ma/ddan: ma/zan, trofh/n. ou(/tws oi( *megarei=s dia\ du/o dd.
Notes:
From a scholion on Aristophanes, Acharnians 732, where the headword, accusative case there and again here, is used by a Megarian (web address 1). See again under mu 34, and cf. also mu 35, mu 36.
According to Buck [below] p.71, "Megarian dd is doubtful (Aristophanes Acharnians ma=dda, xrh/ddw, but only z in inscriptions)."
