Notes:
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 412-413 (which does not have the Suda's opening negative
ou)d', a mistake for
su\ d': web address 1), with comment from the
scholia there. Also in
Photius pi466 Theodoridis.
There is
double entendre here: in line 410 the
balanos was the pin of a necklace, but when the goldsmith makes his house-call he will deploy his
balanos = penis (cf.
beta 66).
[1] cf. generally
pi 751.
