Notes:
The headword phrase is extracted from
Aristophanes,
Clouds 812, where the chorus say: "for such matters are likely somehow to turn the other way" (web address 1). It is followed, here, first by the glossing of
Photius (phi166 Theodoridis) and other lexica, then by material from the
scholia on the line.
[1] If this is intended to be
Aristophanes' line, it is a very loose approximation of it.
