Notes:
Aristophanes,
Clouds 924 (web address 1), with comment from the
scholia there. The headword phrase is in the accusative case.
The name Pandeletos is mentioned only here, and is unique in Attic prosopography. Whether it is a proper name or a nickname is unclear; so is whether (as is implied here, but explicit in some of the
scholia) he was an Athenian of
Aristophanes' day or else a proverbial figure.
