Merry suggests in his note, 'tie boards behind him' as a method of torture. He compares Aristoph. So he spake, and they gave good heed and hearkened.

Now he was seeking for the armour in the secret place of the chamber, but they twain stood in waiting on either side the doorposts.

This incident confirms the expressed fear of Miltiades, that delay in giving battle might produce division and treachery among some of the Athenians.
"Menon, a cushion for our guest!" cried Rhodopis. "Be welcome to my house and take some repose after your wild, thoroughly Lydian, ride." "By the dog, Gyges!" exclaimed Croesus. Schol. Aristoph. "What brings thee here at this hour? I begged thee not to quit Bartja's side. . . . But how thou look'st! what is the matter? has aught happened? speak, speak!"
The authorities in favour of the Egyptian origin of Cecrops are. Diod., lib. i.; Theopomp.; Schol. Aristoph.; Plot.; Suidas. Plato speaks of the ancient connexion between Sais and Athens. To enter into all the arguments that have been urged on either side relative to Cecrops would occupy about two hundred pages of this work, and still leave the question in dispute.
The part appointed for the flower-sellers, who passed in general for no better than they should be, was called the "myrtle-market." Aristoph. Three wonderfully-lovely girls, in white dresses of some half-transparent material, with colored borders, were seated together on low stools, binding roses, violets and orange-blossoms into one long wreath.
"Do you read Euripides?" he asked with naïve wonder. "Yes." "And Æschylus and Sophocles and Aristoph ?" Mr. Rickman became embarrassed as he recalled certain curious passages, and in his embarrassment he rushed upon his doom "and and 'Omer?" It was a breakdown unparalleled in his history.

Fighting-cocks were fed with garlic, to make them more fierce. The learned reader will remember how Theorus advised Dicaeopolis to keep clear of the Thracians with garlic in their mouths. See the Acharnians of Aristoph. See the quotations from Alcaeus, Sappho, and Anacreon in Athenaeus, book xiii. c. 17. So said Thucydides of the Spartans, many years afterwards.
