After the opening generic gloss, this entry savagely abridges Harpokration s.v. (generated by Lysias fr. 142 Sauppe, now 196 Carey OCT: 2 speeches In Reply to K.). See further at phi 459.
Kinesias, son of Meles (c.450-390); PA 8438; LGPN ii [Attica] s.v. no.2. See delta 1029 and references for his place in the "new dithyramb" and for the attacks of the comic playwrights on him as "chorus-killer." He appears as a character in Aristophanes' Birds 1373-1409, with citations and pastiches of his work, and, just possibly, at Lysistrata 829-953, where a character Kinesias is frustrated by his wife Myrrhine. But Henderson in his edition of the latter play categorically denies this identification and takes kinesias there as a significant name from its etymological root κινεῖν (LSJ II 4: web address 1) = βινεῖν (notes ad 838, 852, cf. scholia).
