Eupolis

breviated form in which the text of the Antiatticist has been transmitted to us
makes it difficult to be certain about the final point. Phot, a 1141 άμαρτωλία·
Αριστοφάνης is an abbreviated version of the Antiatticist’s note.
Interpretation The concrete noun αμαρτωλή is attested in both Theognis
(325, 327, 1248, 1281) and 5th-century tragedy (Phryn. Trag. TrGF 3 F 16c?;
S. fr. 999 (both drawn from Phot, a 1142)), while the cognate adjective
αμαρτωλός appears at Ar. Th. 1111 (see Austin-Olson 2004 ad loc.) and the
adverb άμαρτωλώς is found at fr. 422 (n.). That the abstract άμαρτωλία is
also preserved at Hp. Epid. 111.8 = 5.80.4 Littre makes it clear that this too is an
ordinary if ill-documented word. For the form, cf. παλιντραπελία (Poll. 3.132)
and παλιντράπελος (Pi. O. 2.37) alongside παλίντροπος and παλιντροπία, and
φειδωλία (Ar. Nu. 835; Ec. 750) and φειδωλός (fr. 156.1 n.) alongside φειδώ. For
αμαρτία (“error” vel sim.) and cognates, see Bremer 1969. 24-47 (but without
attention to the comic evidence); Stinton 1975.
