Headword: *plei=n
Adler number: pi,1732
Translated headword: more
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[plei=n means the same as] ple-on.[1]
Aristophanes [writes]: "and this is worth more than ten thousand staters."[2]
And elsewhere: "more than ten thousand going off to shit."[3]
And elsewhere: "for much more modestly, to shit for more than 30 days."[4]
And elsewhere: "more loquaciously than Euripides by more than a stadion." Meaning more nonsensically; as if at a foot-race. Aristophanes [writes]: "there are still more than ten thousand youths here making tragedies."[5]
And elsewhere: "more [than] six hundred in number."[6]

Notes:
[1] The monosyllabic neuter nominative/accusative singular comparative plei=n (cf. under pi 1733) is here glossed with the uncontracted ple/on. Also in the Ambrosian Lexicon (862), according to Adler.
[2] Aristophanes, Clouds 1041.
[3] Aristophanes, Plutus [Wealth] 1184.
[4] Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 807-8.
[5] An approximation of Aristophanes, Frogs 91 (with scholion), followed here by what precedes it (89-90). Euripides' name should be in the genitive, and 'still' should be 'other'.
[6] Aristophanes, Birds 1251.
