πέρδιξ

English (LSJ)

Cret. πήριξ Hsch., ῑκος S.Fr.323, Nicopho 18, ῐκος Archil. 106, Epich.84, ὁ and ἡ:— partridge, Ar.Av.767; οἱ ὄρτυγες καὶ οἱ π. X.Mem.2.1.4; σκοπέλων μετανάστρια π. AP7.204 (Agath.): prov., πέρδιξ ὄρουσον = 'look sharp', Ar.Fr.523.

Translatum

Neither the proverb πέρδιξ ὄρουσον (lit. “rush [like a] partridge”?), nor the aorist active imperative singular ὄρουσον is attested anywhere in ancient Greek. The convoluted history of this “proverb” is given in Koch’s edition of the comic fragments (1880): Photius has παραιξορουσον, Suda παρεξόρουσον, Dindorf Πάρι, ἐξόρουσον, Meineke πάρεξ ὄρουσον, etc. Someone after Koch must have added a partridge (πέρδιξ) into that pear-tree of guesswork. The Aristophanes-fragment (523) has been omitted in Edmond's edition of comic fragments (1957), so the LSJ online ref. draws a blank [1].
