Vetting Status: high

Greek Original:
*paroywnou=si: la/qra o)ywnou=si. kai\ *pisi/dhs: ei) mh\ kakourgei=s kai\ paroywnei=n qe/leis, e)k tw=n e)xo/ntwn ta\s dusw/deis a)ntli/as.
Notes:
The headword, extracted from Aristophanes (see n. 1 below), is third person plural, present indicative active, of the rare verb paroywne/w (connected with omicron 1087 etc.).
A neuter noun related to it, paroyw/nhma, is memorably used by Aeschylus' Clytemnestra when describing Agamenmon's "bit on the side", Chryseis (Aeschylus, Agamemnon 1447).
[1] From the scholia to Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae [Assemblywomen] 226, where the headword occurs (web address 1). Ussher ad loc. offers another interpretation of it, alongside the scholiasts' one: they buy little extras (from para- meaning "in addition").
[2] George of Pisidia, Sever. 621; the second clause of it has aready been quoted at alpha 2751.
