Adler number: upsilon,393
Translated headword: he goes under, he ingratiates himself with
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Used] with an accusative. Meaning he brings the people under his power and insinuates [himself] and flatters and placates [it], subduing all the rage towards him. Aristophanes in Knights [writes]: "see to what extent[1] he ingratiates himself to us, he cheats us like old men." ['Cheats'] meaning robs; for kobaloi [are] robbers with a piece of wood. The same are also [called] korynêphoreis. But some [call] kobalon amusement with deceit. He is saying: just as he outwits old judges, so too is he trying to trick us; for kobala are what they call trickeries.

Notes:
After the initial grammatical gloss, the entry stems from Aristophanes, Knights 269-270, with material from the scholia there; concerning Kleon (kappa 1731). Passage also commented on in kappa 1897, glossing the verb e)kkobalikeu/etai.
[1] Aristophanes' oi(=' (for oi(=a with elision) here has become oi(=.
