Greek Original:
Δαί̈αν ὁδόν: ἀγωνιστικὴν ἢ ἔμπειρον, ἀπὸ τοῦ δαῆναι, ὅ ἐστι μαθεῖν. ἢ ἀντὶ τοῦ φιλόνεικον. ὁ δὲ καίτοι δράσας κακὸν δάϊον ἐλεγχόμενος ὅμως ἦγε τὴν ἡσυχίαν.
Notes:
[1] From the scholia to Aristophanes, Frogs 897, where the headword phrase (accusative case) occurs. The second of the etymologies is the correct one; cf. delta 11, delta 17, etc..
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler suggests Aelian.)
