Notes:
cf. generally
sigma 1264.
[1] Headword and glosses are in fact plurals (likewise in the quotation to follow), but English idiom is less amenable to this than Greek.
[2] Variant reading for
stufeligmou/s at
Aristophanes,
Knights 537-8 (web address 1); the gloss is derived from a scholion on these lines. The
Crates mentioned here is universally assumed to be the well-known comic poet of that name:
kappa 2339; OCD4
Crates(1). (
Kappa 2340 is not regarded as the same man but an obscure namesake: so e.g. Dunbar 228.)
[3] Fragment of a fable in hexameters, using the adjective
stufelo/s from which the headword is derived. This passage is included by Crusius in an appendix to his edition of
Babrius, p. 21.
Aristophanes, Birds, edited with introduction and commentary by Nan Dunbar (Oxford 1995)
