Notes:
A normalisation of
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 170-171 (web address 1), with glossing (of the headword, extracted from it) as in the
scholia there.
In the original, all this is supposed to be Laconian dialect, uttered by the Spartan woman Lampito (
lambda 92). For its concluding infinitive, see
pi 1680. The present headword, a noun in the accusative case, is spelled
r(ua/xetos in
Hesychius (rho464) and
Photius (rho165-166 Theodoridis) -- reckoned to be the correct version by modern editors -- but in some manuscripts of
Aristophanes r(ugxa/xetos or (as here)
r(uxa/xetos.
