Headword: *tro/paia
Adler number: tau,1049
Translated headword: trophies
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] victory-monuments.[1]
Aristophanes in Plutus [writes]: "might set up a trophy over her ways". The old Attic writers put a circumflex on the penultimate syllable, the more recent ones make it proparoxytone.[2]
The old Attic [dialect] is the one beginning with Eupolis, Cratinus, Aristophanes, Thucydides; the new Attic is the one where it is Menander and others.[3]
Greek Original:

Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword, neuter plural, must be quoted from somewhere; the scholia to both Aeschylus, Seven Against Thebes 277, and Euripides, Phoenician Women 572, have this same gloss.
[2] Aristophanes, Plutus [Wealth] 453 (where the reading is a)\n sth/saito), with scholion. On the accent shift in Attic known as Vendryes' Law, see e.g. alpha 186, alpha 309.
[3] From the scholia to Thucydides 1.30.1, where setting up a trophy is mentioned.
