Aristophanes,
Wasps 192 (web address 1), with scholion. On the partitive genitive
po/rrw te/xnhs, see MacDowell's note, with parallels. His interpretation of the headword itself, however, as 'fully grown' -- i.e. past (
par') the state of being a foal (
abalos) -- is harder to accept.
[2] An approximation of
Josephus,
Jewish Antiquities 6.338 (web address 2).
Aristophanes, Wasps, edited with introduction and commentary by Douglas M. MacDowell (Oxford 1971)
