Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[*pw/gwn, genitive] pw/gwnos: a harbor at Troezen so named, from which [there is] also a proverb in reference to men with deficient beards: "but to walk to Troezen."[1]
And Aristophanes [writes]: "and I for my part have a [sc. false] beard not a little finer than Epicrates'." For this man, who had a big beard, was called Sakesphoros ["beard-bearer"] and was ridiculed for hairiness. He was an orator and a demagogue. And Aristophanes says, "o Epicrates beard-bearer, lord of the mustache."[2]

Notes:
[1] cf. epsiloniota 324, with "one must walk to Troezen" (dei= instead of the present entry's de\).
[2] Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 71 (web address 1), with scholion; cf. epsilon 2416, where the final quotation is attributed to Plato the comic poet (fr. 122 Kock, now 130 K.-A.). On the hairy upper lip, see also upsilon 427.
