στριβιλικίγξ
διὸ δὴ πᾶς ἀνὴρ σπουδαῖος τῶν ὄντων σπουδαίων πέρι πολλοῦ δεῖ μὴ γράψας ποτὲ ἐν ἀνθρώποις εἰς φθόνον καὶ ἀπορίαν καταβαλεῖ → And this is the reason why every serious man in dealing with really serious subjects carefully avoids writing, lest thereby he may possibly cast them as a prey to the envy and stupidity of the public | Therefore every man of worth, when dealing with matters of worth, will be far from exposing them to ill feeling and misunderstanding among men by committing them to writing
English (LSJ)
Comic word, οὐδ' ἂν σ. not
A the least, not a fraction, Ar.Ach.1035: Sch. cites also στρίβος, a weak fine voice; comparing also λίκιγξ, a bird's voice.
German (Pape)
[Seite 954] nur Ar. Ach. 999, οὐδ' ἂν στριβ., auch nicht das Geringste, nach dem Schol. zusammengesetzt aus στρίβος u. λίκιγξ, welches Wort er durch ἡ ἐλαχίστη βοὴ τοῦ ὀρνέου erklärt.
Greek (Liddell-Scott)
στρῐβῐλῐκίγξ: κωμικὴ λέξις, οὐδ’ ἂν στριβιλικίγξ, οὐδ’ ἐλάχιστον μέρος, οὐδὲ γρῦ, οὐδόλως, Ἀριστοφ. Ἀχ. 1035· ὁ Σχολ. ἐν τόπῳ μνημονεύει καὶ στρίβος, ἀσθενής, λεπτὴ φωνή· παραβάλλων καὶ τὸ λίκιγξ, φωνὴ πτηνοῦ.
