Aristophanes in
Plutus [writes]: "might set up a trophy over her ways". The old Attic writers put a circumflex on the penultimate syllable, the more recent ones make it proparoxytone.[2]
The old Attic [dialect] is the one beginning with
Eupolis,
Cratinus,
Aristophanes,
Thucydides; the new Attic is the one where it is
Menander and others.[3]
Greek Original:Τρόπαια: νικητήρια. Ἀριστοφάνης ἐν Πλούτῳ: τρόπαιον ἀναστήσαιτο τῶν ταύτης τρόπων. τὸ τρόπαιον οἱ παλαιοὶ Ἀττικοὶ προπερισπῶσιν, οἱ δὲ νεώτεροι προπαροξύνουσι. ἡ δὲ παλαιὰ Ἀτθίς ἐστιν, ἧς ἦρχεν Εὔπολις, Κρατῖνος, Ἀριστοφάνης, Θουκυδίδης: ἡ δὲ νέα Ἀτθίς ἐστιν, ἧς ἐστι Μένανδρος καὶ ἄλλοι.
