Headword: ᾌδειν κελεύονθ' ὡσπερεὶ τέττιγα ἑστιῶντα
Adler number: alpha,454
Translated headword: asking [me] to sing as if entertaining cicadas
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
For it is a talkative creature.[1]
But [sc. differently-accented] ἀδεῖν [means] to please.[2]
Greek Original:
ᾌδειν κελεύονθ' ὡσπερεὶ τέττιγα ἑστιῶντα: διότι πολύλαλόν ἐστι τὸ ζῷον. Ἀδεῖν δὲ ἀρέσαι.
Notes:
[1] The headword phrase comes from Aristophanes, Clouds 1360 (which has plural τέττιγας for the Suda's τέττιγα : see web address 1 below for the text on Perseus), and the gloss from the scholia there.
[2] As opposed to αἴδειν , the form in the headword, "to sing"; again alpha 455.
