Translated headword: I will harass you for your arrogance [and] I will undercut your roads
Vetting Status: high
Translation: i.e. I will strip you, I will put a stop to your arrogances. The [term] I will harass [comes] from a metaphor of rowers.[1] I will put a stop to you and I will cut off your arrogance. I will harass you, [meaning] I will conquer [you]. But I will undercut [sc. means behaving] like a tanner; for they undercut the hides, because of their appearing thick.

Notes:
Aristophanes,
Knights 290-1 (web address 1), with scholion; cf.
upsilon 609. (NB: modern editions assign the two phrases to different characters, Kleon and the sausage-seller respectively.)
[1] Presumably this means that the term was used to urge rowers to row faster, though there are no instances of this.
