Headword: *ou)k oi)=d' o(\ krw/zeis
Adler number: omicron,899
Translated headword: I don't know what you are crowing
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Used] in reference to those who babble in vain, like crows. Aristophanes [writes]: "that I know what you are crowing; as if I had stolen something, you seek to get a share."
Greek Original:
*ou)k oi)=d' o(\ krw/zeis: e)pi\ tw=n ma/thn qrulou/ntwn, w(s ai( korw=nai. *)aristofa/nhs: o(/ti me\n oi)=d' o(\ krw/zeis: w(s e)mou= ti keklofo/tos, zhtei=s metalabei=n.
Notes:
Aristophanes, Wealth [Plutus] 369-370 (web address 1), with scholion. Here in the Suda, however, neither the headword phrase itself nor the subsequent quotation gets the beginning right: it should be su\ me\n oi)=d' o(\ krw/zeis "what you are crowing I know."
cf. kappa 2492.
