The headword phrase is an abridgement (omitting the phrase
e)nqa/d' e)/stai "here will be") of
Aristophanes,
Birds 763, and the comments here approximate those of the
scholia (though the addition of "Carian" in the Suda seems to be an accretion from commentary to the following line where Carian ethnicity is mentioned without reference to Philemon). The humor in the present line depends on the similarity between the words for Phrygian (
fru=c) and the word for chaffinch (
frugi/los).
