Greek display:    
Headword: Κωφότερος κίχλης
Adler number: kappa,2309
Translated headword: dumber than a thrush
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
In Euboulos in Dionysius [this] is said [sc. with the meaning] more voiceless than a thrush.
Greek Original:
Κωφότερος κίχλης: παρ' Εὐβούλῳ ἐν Διονυσίῳ λέγεται ἀφωνότερος κίχλης.
Notes:
The headword phrase (in which 'dumb' bears the meaning it bears in UK, not US, English) is Eubulus fr.29 Kock. (Suda ms.F wrongly gives the title as Dionysus). For the present gloss on it see also Photius, and cf. Zenobius 4.66.
Its adjective κωφότερος is the comparative of κωφός : cf. kappa 2310, kappa 2307, kappa 2308.
Keywords: comedy; daily life; dialects, grammar, and etymology; proverbs; zoology
