Vetting Status: low
Translation:
Marks of victory.[1]
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.
Notes:
