Eupolis
fr. 97 K.-A. (88 K.)
Poll. 7.123
κάπνην δέ καί καπνοδόκην Εΰπολις τό μέν εϊρηκεν έν Βάπταις, το δέ έν Δήμοις
(fr. 144)
As for kapne and kapnodoke, Eupolis uses the former in Baptai, the latter in Demoi
(fr. 144)
Discussion Fritzsche 1835. 237; Delneri 2006. 352
Citation context From a long section on words having to do with parts of
houses and construction. There are no attestations of καπνοδόκη in what we
have of Aristophanes, so Eust. p. 130.42-3 = 1.201.7-8 πανδοκεύτριαν ... ό
κωμικός φησι καί ξυροδόκην, καπνοδόκην καί τοιαύτά τινα (“The comic poet
says pandokeutria (V. 35; Ra. 114; Pl. 426) and xyrodoke (Ph. 220), kapnodoke
and various such things”) may well be a garbled reference to this passage or
its source.
Interpretation κάπνη and καπνοδόκη (cognate with καπνός, “smoke”, the
latter with the second element { δέχομαι) both refer to a vent-hole in a roof
that allowed smoke from a fire within to escape; Ar. V. 143-8 shows that such
a hole might be fitted with a lid, sc. to keep out rain when necessary.172 Cf.
Diph. fr. 85 (a “(roof)-tile with a hole”) ap. Phot, o 388 (drawing on an Atticist
lexicographer); Moer. o 48 (identifying καπνία as the common, non-Attic
term); Poll. 2.54; Wikander 1983, esp. 81-2; Tsakirgis 2007. 230-1. κάπνη is
attested also at Ar. V. 143; Alex. fr. 177.13-14. καπνοδόκη is attested elsewhere
in comedy at Pherecr. fr. 150.3, as well as in Herodotus (4.103.3; 8.137.4), and
must have been recognized as a 5th-century colloquialism, hence its presence
at Luc. Icar. 13.

παλιναίρετος· Δείναρχος έν τη κατά Πολυεύκτου έκφυλλοφορηθέντος ένδείξει (or. 2

άλούς έζημιοϋτο, καί διά τοϋτ’ έκωλύετο λέγειν πριν άποτΐσαι την ζημίαν ήν ώφλεν,

172 Σν Ar. V. 143—most likely anachronistically, although followed by Storey 2011.
95—imagines something more like a chimney (σωληνοειδές, “pipe-shaped”).
