Ψαλάσσετε: ψηλαφᾶτε. Ἀριστοφάνης: ᾗπερ ἱερεῖον τοί μ' ὑποψαλάσσετε. τὰ γὰρ ἱερεῖα μέλλοντες θύειν ἐψηλάφων, εἰ λιπαρά ἐστι. καὶ Ἀψάλακτος: Ἀριστοφάνης: πρῶτος ἀπῆλθον ἀψάλακτος, ἀλλ' ὅμως Λακωνικὸν πνέων.
Notes:
[1] 'stroke me up' is an attempt to reflect the fact that the verb used here (
ὑποψαλασσετε ) is a compound of the headword rather than the headword itself.
