From a scholion on
Aristophanes,
Birds 17. Cf.
alpha 4193,
delta 868,
delta 879. The names vary somewhat.

[1] The editor of the Aristophanic comedies (AD 100). He identified this 'Tharreleides' with a certain Asopodoros called
Κολοιὸς by another Old Comedy poet (Telekleides fr. 50 CGF). However, there is no evidence that ancient scholars knew this Asopodoros as son of Tharreleus. Moreover, the
scholia disagree over the reference of Tharreleides in the context of the verses, so that the modern reader cannot fully understand this joke.
