[sc. Meaning] will you not get into action faster?[1]
The headword phrase comes from
Aristophanes,
Birds 1324 (web address 1). A similar gloss (
θᾶττον: ταχύτερον ) appears in the
Thomas Magister/Triclinius
scholia to
Clouds 1253. Though the Suda often contains entries deriving from the
scholia to
Aristophanes, this particular gloss is not contained in the old
scholia to
Birds.
cf. generally
epsilon 108,
epsilon 109.
[1]
θᾶττον (headword phrase) and
ταχύτερον (gloss) are both from
ταχύς, ταχεῖα, ταχύ but while the former is good Attic, the latter appears in, e.g.,
Herodotus (see LSJ s.v. web address 2).
