Notes:
The headword is a denominative verb from
pa/tagos (
pi 770,
pi 771,
pi 773), here in the present indicative active, third person plural. (For the glossing cf.
Hesychius s.v.
patagei=.) It must be quoted from somewhere: probably
Aristophanes,
Clouds 378 (cf. the
scholia there), though there are other possibilities, including
Sophocles,
Ajax 168.
[2] Part of
Menander Protector fr. 10.3 Blockley. Here the verb is the compound
e)pipatage/w.
[3] Adler attributed this tentatively to
Iamblichus; now
Iamblichus,
Babyloniaca fr. 116 Habrich.
