Ταλαοί: τληπαθεῖς. οἱ δὲ διαιροῦσιν, ὥστε εἶναι τ' ἀλαοί. Ἀριστοφάνης Ὄρνισι.
Notes:
From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Birds 687 (see web address 1).
This passage is the only attestation in classical literature of
ταλαός as an adjective (it occurs as a proper name), so some ancient critic has suggested reading
τ' ἀλαοί "and blind" (cf.
alpha 1071). Modern editors retain
ταλαοί .
