Eupolis
were archetypal slave-owners (supported at Ath. 6.265b by a reference to
Theopomp. Hist. FGrH 115 F 122a, showing that the idea was already current
in the 4th century BCE). What verb should be supplied is unclear, although
the fact that it is left unexpressed might hint at an obscenity (e. g. έβινήσατο,
“fucked”). If the joke is more complicated than this—and thus even harder for
us to understand—perhaps Chian wine (e. g. Hermipp. fr. 77.5; Ar. Ec. 1139; fr.
225.3) or the knucklebone throw known as a “Chian” (fr. 372 n.; Strait, fr. 24
with Orth 2009 ad loc.) is involved. For Chios (IACP #840) and its political and
military relations with Athens, see fr. 246 n. For the “Ionian theme” in Philoi
hypothesized by Storey 2003. 265, see fr. 288 n.

the entry in Harpocration to go back to [Hdn.], but there is no good reason
why it should not go back direct to Herennius Philo as well, and I accord-
ingly print these as two separate testimonia to the text of Eupolis. Poll. 6.25
