Ἄπεστιν: ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀφέστηκεν: Ἀριστοφάνης: ἄπεστιν ἐπὶ Θρᾴκης φυλάττων Εὐκράτη. οὗτος ἦν στρατηγὸς Ἀθηναίων, ὁ καλούμενος Στύγαξ, δωροδόκος καὶ προδότης, ὃς ἀπώλετο ὑπὸ τῶν λ#. οἱ δὲ ὡς πιὼν κώνειον. ἀκόνιτον δέ.
Notes:
[1]
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 103 (web address 1), with scholion.
[2] So again at
sigma 1248 -- but more probably Styppax (Hempy, implying hemp-seller): see
sigma 1257. Henderson (below) 79-80 reckons that the Aristophanic
scholia -- on which the present entry depends -- have conflated more than one man called Eukrates; be that as it may, the principal one was a younger brother of
Nikias; see generally on him J.K. Davies,
Athenian Propertied Families 600-300 BC (Oxford 1971) 404.
Aristophanes, Lysistrata, edited with introduction and commentary by Jeffrey Henderson (Oxford 1987)
